Import Tips

• Classify the ladder assembly as a part of a locomotive, emphasizing its role in crew access and safety

• The CBSA may require documentation showing it is not a general-purpose ladder, which would be classified under Chapter 73

• Ensure the retractable mechanism is described clearly to avoid misclassification as a machine part
