Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the transformer's capacity exceeds 650 kVA
Liquid dielectric transformers above 650 kVA are classified under a different tariff item.
If the transformer is dry-type rather than liquid-filled
Dry-type transformers are classified separately from liquid dielectric units.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the transformer's primary voltage (7.2 kV) aligns with Canadian rural distribution standards
• Confirm CSA certification for pole-mounted equipment
• Provide the CBSA with the kVA rating and dielectric specifications
