Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as part of a complete valve assembly
Valves and their parts are classified under heading 84.81, which takes precedence over pneumatic motors when the actuator is integral to the valve.
If the actuator is linear-acting rather than rotary
Linear-acting pneumatic cylinders are specifically classified under subheading 8412.31, while this item covers other pneumatic motors.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the actuator is classified as a pneumatic power motor, not a valve or part of a valve, to avoid misclassification
• Verify the country of origin for applicable preferential tariff treatments under Canada's free trade agreements
• Keep technical documentation, such as datasheets and drawings, ready to support the classification if requested by the CBSA
