Import Tips

• Confirm the vehicle is classified as a road tractor for semi-trailers under heading 87.01, not as a truck or chassis

• Ensure the electric motor is the sole propulsion source; any hybrid system would require a different tariff item

• Keep records of the vehicle's specifications and intended use for CBSA clearance
