Goods Subject to NRCAN Regulations
Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) prohibits the importation of certain energy-using products unless they meet specific requirements. The following information must be included on the Customs invoice before clearance can be approved:
- Name of the product (e.g. fluorescent lamp, incandescent reflector lamp, etc.);
- Model number of the product (for motors, the “unique model identifier”, or UMI, is required);
- Brand, if any, of the product;
- Address of the dealer; and
- Purpose of the importation.
These regulations apply to any energy-using product, even if it is part of a larger machine.
Effective January 3, 2008, Natural Resources Canada has made changes to the list of HS codes subject to these requirements. You may refer to the following link for those changes, which are highlighted in red:
