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 transformer's power handling capacity is 650 kVA or less
This covers liquid dielectric transformers with a lower capacity, which may apply if the actual rating is below the threshold.
If the transformer's power handling capacity exceeds 650 kVA but does not exceed 10,000 kVA
This covers liquid dielectric transformers in a mid-range capacity, relevant if the rating is lower than 10,000 kVA.
If the transformer is not liquid dielectric and has a power handling capacity exceeding 500 kVA
This covers other transformers with high capacity, applicable if the cooling method differs.

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 meets Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification for electrical safety
• Provide detailed technical specifications, including kVA rating and dielectric type, to the CBSA for accurate classification
• Verify if any provincial electrical permits are required before installation
