Import Tips
• Prepare structural and engineering specifications to show the dock is non-self-propelled and designed for stationary use
• For large industrial docks, consider the logistics of shipping and whether the CBSA requires additional permits for oversized cargo
• Verify if the dock qualifies for duty deferral under the Customs Bonded Warehouse program if it will be re-exported
