Fire Engine Pumper Truck from Japan
A fire engine pumper truck is a specialized motor vehicle built on a commercial chassis and equipped with water pumps, hoses, and ladders for firefighting. It is designed for a specific function rather than for transporting persons or goods, which places it under tariff item 8705.90.90 as an 'other' special purpose motor vehicle.

Import Tips
• Ensure the vehicle is not principally designed for transport; provide technical specifications and photos to the CBSA to support classification
• Verify that firefighting equipment is permanently mounted, as loose equipment may be classified separately
• Consider the GST/HST implications on the total value of the vehicle and equipment
