Import Tips & Compliance
• Classify the air reservoir tank as a part of the brake system, not as a general pressure vessel, which would fall under Chapter 73
• The CBSA may require technical specifications to confirm it is solely for railway use
• Ensure the tank is not considered a part of general use, as that would exclude it from Chapter 86
