Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the aircraft's maximum take-off weight (MTOW) is documented in the technical specifications, as CBSA may verify it against the 7-25 kg range
• Register the UAV with Transport Canada if used commercially, and be prepared to provide proof of remote-controlled-only operation to avoid misclassification
• Declare the correct value in Canadian dollars, including any accessories shipped with the aircraft
