Import Tips
• Ensure the lining is described as a part of a locomotive's brake system, not as a complete brake shoe, to align with the tariff item
• The CBSA may require evidence that the lining is not a part of general use, such as a rubber article under heading 40.16
• Check if the lining qualifies for duty-free treatment under a free trade agreement based on its origin
