• Verify the tractor is designed for road use and hauling semi-trailers, not for off-road or agricultural purposes
• Ensure the electric motor is the sole propulsion source; any auxiliary engine would change classification
• Prepare a detailed vehicle specification sheet for CBSA to confirm eligibility
