Import Tips
• > If the motor is imported as part of a complete cuckoo clock, the entire clock may be classified under Chapter 91 (clocks) rather than as a motor
• Ensure the motor is described as a separate component if imported alone
• Provide a technical description of the weight mechanism to the CBSA to support classification
