Import Tips
• Given the machine's large size, plan for special transport arrangements and ensure the CBSA declaration includes the full value of the machine including any installation services
• Confirm whether the machine is subject to the Machinery Remission Program, which may provide duty relief for machines not made in Canada
• Provide technical drawings or a description of the gear cutting process to avoid classification disputes
