Siemens SIRIUS 3RW30 Soft Starter from Germany
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RW30 is a solid-state soft starter designed for three-phase AC motors up to 30HP, using thyristors to ramp up voltage and reduce mechanical stress during start-up. It falls under tariff item 8536.50.90 as an 'other switch' for circuits not exceeding 1,000 volts, since it is not a motor starter classified under 8536.50.10.

Import Tips
• Ensure the soft starter is declared with its voltage rating (≤1,000V) and that it is not classified as a motor starter (8536.50.10), which has different duty treatment
• Provide technical documentation to the CBSA confirming the thyristor-based voltage ramp-up function
• Verify if the goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement by including a valid certificate of origin
