Import Tips
• Ensure the generator set is declared with its output in kVA to confirm classification under 8502.13.00
• Verify whether the unit includes ancillary equipment (e.g
• control panels, fuel tanks) that may be classified separately
• Check if the generator meets Canadian electrical safety standards (CSA) to avoid delays at the border
