Import Tips
• Ensure each consignment is accompanied by documentation proving the batteries are sorted by chemical type and free of lead, cadmium, and mercury, as required by the tariff item
• Verify that the batteries are classified as spent (unusable) and not as waste of other headings, and consider obtaining a pre-arrival ruling from the CBSA to avoid delays
