Import Tips
• Ensure the side bearing cage is declared as a part of non self-propelled rolling stock, with a clear description of its function for the CBSA
• Keep documentation showing it is not a part of general use, such as bolts or washers, to avoid reclassification
• Verify the country of origin to determine if any preferential tariff treatment applies under Canada's trade agreements
