Import Tips

• > If the motor is imported as part of a complete pencil sharpener, the entire article may be classified under Chapter 82 (tools) rather than as a motor

• Ensure the motor is described as a separate component if imported alone

• Provide a diagram or technical description to the CBSA to clarify the spring-operated mechanism
