Import Tips
• Ensure the dryer is classified as a complete unit with its steam box and compression components; separate parts may fall under other headings
• Provide technical documentation showing the drying function is principal, as machines with combined pressing and drying may be questioned by CBSA
• Verify whether the goods qualify for duty-free treatment under a free trade agreement by providing a valid certificate of origin
