Import Tips
• Ensure the metal threading is minor and solely for assembly; otherwise, the item may be classified elsewhere
• Provide the CBSA with specifications showing the spout's insulating function and ceramic composition
• Verify whether the spout is considered a part of a circuit breaker under heading 8536 or 8537 for alternative classification
