Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Ensure the motor's output power (373 W) is clearly stated on the commercial invoice to support classification under 8501.40.00

β€’ Verify that the motor meets Canadian electrical safety standards (CSA or equivalent) before importation

β€’ Consider whether the motor is sold with a pump; if so, classification may shift to a complete pump heading
