Import Tips
• Ensure the cash register is declared as a complete unit with its calculating functions intact; if imported with accessories like scanners, those may be classified separately
• Verify the country of origin to determine eligibility for preferential tariff rates under Canada's free trade agreements
• Keep the user manual and technical specifications ready in case CBSA requests proof of the device's calculating capabilities
