Import Tips
• > Ensure the system is classified as a complete parachute, not as parts, to fall under 8804.00.10; if the rocket is considered a separate article, it may affect classification
• Provide a detailed product description and technical specifications to the CBSA to support the classification
• Verify that the system meets Canadian aviation safety standards, as CBSA may require documentation
