Import Tips
• Ensure the cells are not designed with welded connectors for electronic lock systems, as that would shift classification to 8506.50.10
• Declare the correct cell chemistry (lithium) and voltage to avoid CBSA reclassification
• Check Transport Canada regulations for shipping lithium batteries, as they are classified as dangerous goods
