Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the SCR protection is considered a switching function
Switches for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V are classified in heading 85.36, which may apply if the protection circuitry is more than ancillary.
If the SCR protection is considered a primary function
Electrical machines and apparatus with individual functions are classified in heading 85.43, which could apply if the protection feature dominates.

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
• Verify that the SCR protection is an accessory feature, not a primary function, to support classification under 8533.39.00.00
• Provide CBSA with technical documentation showing the wirewound resistance element is the core
• Ensure compliance with Canadian electrical codes for theatrical equipment
