Import Tips
• Verify the tractor is designed for road use and hauling semi-trailers, not for off-road or industrial use
• Ensure the electric motor is the sole propulsion source; any hybrid system would require a different tariff item
• Prepare documentation showing the vehicle's motor type and intended use for CBSA
