Import Tips
• Describe the pantograph head as a mechanical part for current collection, not as an electrical insulator, to align with the tariff item
• The CBSA may require evidence that the carbon contact is not a general carbon article, which would fall under Chapter 38
• Ensure the head is identified as solely for tramway use to avoid reclassification
