More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the power handling capacity is 10,000 kVA or less
This heading covers liquid dielectric transformers with a capacity not exceeding 10,000 kVA.
If the transformer is not liquid dielectric and has a capacity exceeding 500 kVA
Non-liquid dielectric transformers with high capacity fall under this alternative heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the transformer's kVA rating is clearly documented in the commercial invoice to support classification under 8504.23.00
• Verify that the dielectric fluid (e.g
• mineral oil) meets Canadian environmental and transport regulations
• Consider pre-arrival review with the CBSA for large electrical equipment to avoid delays
