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
