Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the base is declared as a part of a lighting fitting, not as a finished lamppost, to avoid misclassification
• Have technical drawings or product specifications ready to show the CBSA officer that the base is designed for floor/ground placement and supports a luminaire
• Verify whether the base is made of cast iron or another metal, as this may affect the applicable duty rate
