Import Tips

• Since the hand truck is for transporting books (goods), verify if it should be classified under 8716.80.20 instead of 8716.80.10; the latter is for persons

• If the shelves are adjustable, ensure they are integral to the vehicle and not separate parts

• Consult the CBSA for a ruling if uncertain about the primary use
