Import Tips & Compliance
• Classify the heating element as a part of crystal growing machines under 8475.90.00, not as a general heating element under Chapter 85
• Provide CBSA with the specific float zone crystal grower model it is designed for
• If the heating element is made of a precious metal, verify whether additional import restrictions apply
