Import Tips
• The multifunction nature of the T1530 may lead the CBSA to question whether it is a printer, scanner, or plotter; emphasize its primary use for technical drawings
• Provide evidence such as marketing materials and user guides that highlight plotting as the principal function
• If the scanner is a separate unit, consider whether it should be classified independently under heading 9006 or 8471
