Import Tips
• Document the resistor-based ramp-up mechanism clearly, as CBSA may examine whether the bypass contactor changes the classification
• Verify if the soft starter is eligible for reduced duty under a trade agreement by providing the appropriate certificate of origin
• Ensure the product's voltage and current ratings comply with Canadian Electrical Code requirements
