Import Tips
• Confirm the dozer's gross vehicle weight and dimensions to ensure transport permits are obtained for Canadian highways
• Keep the bill of lading and commercial invoice detailed with the model, serial number, and year of manufacture for CBSA release
• Check if the engine meets Tier 4 emissions standards, as non-compliant models may be restricted
