This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the BERT is used for measuring or checking semiconductor wafers or devices
Instruments for semiconductor testing are classified under a different tariff item.
If the BERT is a multi-function instrument not exclusively for telecom
General-purpose electrical measuring instruments fall under other subheadings.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the BERT is clearly documented as specially designed for telecommunications testing, as general-purpose electrical measuring instruments may be classified elsewhere
• Include technical specifications and intended use in your customs documentation to support the classification
• Verify if the equipment requires any Canadian standards certification (e.g
• ISED) before importation
