Import Tips
• Check if the magnetic ballast meets Canada's minimum energy performance standards, as some older designs may be restricted
• Provide the lamp type (e.g
• T8) and wattage in the import documentation
• Consider whether an electronic ballast would be more cost-effective given potential regulatory changes
