More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the wedge functions primarily as an electrical insulator for overhead power lines
Heading 8546 covers electrical insulators of ceramics, which are excluded from heading 8547.
If the wedge is presented as an identifiable part of a generator
Parts suitable for use solely or principally with machines of heading 8501 may be classified under heading 8503.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the metal locating pins are minor components incorporated solely for assembly; otherwise, classification may change
• Provide a detailed product description and technical drawings to the CBSA to support the classification
• Verify the applicable duty rate under the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) tariff, as preferential rates may apply under free trade agreements
