Import Tips
• Ensure the vehicle's cylinder capacity (2.5L) is documented on the commercial invoice to confirm classification under 8703.60.90
• Verify that the vehicle meets Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) and obtain a letter of compliance from the manufacturer
• Be aware that imports without a quota allocation under the tariff-rate quota pay the far higher over-access rate
