Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare the casting as rough and only defect-machined to avoid reclassification as a finished part
• Keep documentation showing the casting is for a marine outboard engine, as this supports classification under 8409.91.00
• Verify with the CBSA if the cooling passages are considered 'machined' for classification purposes
