Import Tips & Compliance
• > Ensure the deaerator is designed exclusively for use with boilers of heading 84.02 or 84.03; if it can be used with other systems, classification may change
• Prepare documentation showing its role as auxiliary plant to the CBSA
• If the deaerator is part of a complete boiler feedwater system, consider whether separate classification is required
