Import Tips
• Ensure the microcontroller is declared as an electronic integrated circuit under 8542.31.00, not as a finished machine
• Keep datasheets or technical documentation to confirm the processor architecture if requested by the CBSA
• Verify whether the goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement, as duty rates may be reduced
