Import Tips & Compliance

• Classify the motor under 8501.20.00 only if it is a universal motor; if it is a standard AC-only motor, other headings may apply

• Keep records of the motor's power rating and AC/DC capability for CBSA audits

• Confirm the fan's final classification to avoid misdeclaration
