Import Tips
• Clearly document the machine's principal function (water-jet vs. laser) to support classification under 8456.50.00
• Provide a detailed description of the water-jet components and their specifications to CBSA
• Check if the combo machine qualifies for any duty relief programs for advanced manufacturing equipment
