Pen Style Inspection Light from Germany
A pen-style inspection light is a slim, rechargeable LED lamp designed for precision work in confined spaces, operating entirely on its own built-in battery. It qualifies under tariff item 8513.10.90 as a portable electric lamp other than a flashlight or miners' safety lamp, as it is not designed for general illumination but for targeted inspection tasks.

Import Tips
• Confirm the lamp is not designed as a flashlight; if it has a clip or magnet for attachment, ensure it does not fall under heading 85.12 for vehicle lighting
• Declare the battery type (e.g
• lithium-ion) and ensure compliance with Transport Canada regulations for shipping batteries
• Keep product specifications handy for CBSA verification of the lamp's portability
