Import Tips
• Provide a detailed technical description of the grinder's function to the CBSA, emphasizing its role in semiconductor manufacturing
• If the machine is part of a larger semiconductor fabrication line, consider whether it qualifies for duty relief under the Machinery Remission Program
• Ensure the equipment meets Canadian electrical safety standards (CSA or equivalent) before importation
