Import Tips
• Provide a detailed specification sheet showing the chromium and molybdenum content of the hob, as this supports classification under 8207.90.90
• If the hob is sourced from a country with a free trade agreement with Canada, ensure you have the necessary certificate of origin to claim reduced or zero duty
• Be prepared to explain the hob's function (gear cutting) to CBSA if asked, as this distinguishes it from other cutting tools
