Import Tips
• Ensure the punch is declared as an interchangeable tool for pressing or stamping, not as a machine part, to avoid misclassification
• Verify the country of origin to determine if a preferential tariff rate under a free trade agreement applies
• Keep technical specifications handy in case the CBSA officer requests proof of the tool's function
