Import Tips

• Declare the product as an electric rotary converter under tariff item 8502.40.00, and be prepared to explain its rotary mechanism versus a static VFD

• Since it is used in elevator systems, ensure compliance with Canadian electrical codes and any provincial elevator safety regulations

• Provide a detailed product description to the CBSA to avoid misclassification as a static converter under heading 85.04
