Import Tips
• Ensure the vehicle is classified as a road tractor for semi-trailers under heading 87.01, not as a truck
• Confirm that the electric motor is the only propulsion source, as any auxiliary engine would change classification
• Provide CBSA with the vehicle's VIN and technical specifications to expedite clearance
