Import Tips
• Ensure the cutter's alloy composition (chromium and molybdenum over 0.2%) is documented in the commercial invoice, as this supports classification under 8207.90.90
• Verify whether the tool qualifies for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement (e.g
• USMCA, CETA) by providing a valid certificate of origin
• Keep records of the tool's end-use (gear finishing) in case CBSA requests justification for the tariff classification
