Import Tips
• Ensure the machine is clearly described as a floor burnisher/polisher, not a vacuum or sweeper, to avoid classification under other headings
• Verify whether the unit is electrically powered and confirm the voltage meets Canadian standards (120V/60Hz) to avoid customs delays
• Keep the manufacturer's specification sheet handy in case the CBSA officer requests proof of the machine's function
