Import Tips
• Ensure the rule is classified as a hand-held measuring instrument, not as a part of a machine, to avoid reclassification under Chapter 84
• Declare the value in Canadian dollars and keep the purchase receipt for CBSA inspection
• Verify if the wood meets Canadian import requirements for treated lumber
