Import Tips
• Ensure the refuse collection equipment is permanently mounted and does not change the vehicle's essential character as a goods vehicle
• Verify that the hybrid system's electric motor is used for propulsion, not just auxiliary functions, to meet the tariff description
• Prepare for potential provincial environmental inspections in addition to CBSA requirements
