More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the scale is designed for constant weight weighing and bagging operations
This heading covers constant weight scales and scales for discharging a predetermined weight, which may apply if the microdosing system also performs batch dispensing.
If the scale has a maximum weighing capacity exceeding 30 kg
Other weighing machinery with higher capacity may fall under this item if the conveyor integration is secondary to the weighing function.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the scale is declared as a complete unit with its conveyor, as separate parts may be classified elsewhere
• Verify whether the pharmaceutical end-use requires any Health Canada documentation, though the CBSA primarily focuses on tariff classification
• Keep records of the scale's technical specifications to support the continuous weighing classification
