Import Tips
• Confirm that the plotter is imported without any cutting tools or modules to avoid reclassification under cutting machinery
• Provide the CBSA with the user manual showing the marking-out function
• If the machine includes software, ensure the software is declared separately as it may be subject to different tariff treatment
