    CBSA amends description of tariff item 8507.60.20 in the Customs Tariff

    The Canada Border Services Agency states in Customs Notice 26-21 that the 2026-1 amendment to the Customs Tariff 2026 changes the description of tariff item 8507.60.20, effective August 6, 2026, replacing "electrically-powered motorcycles" with "motorcycles or cycles with an electric motor". The change is marked by a change bar in the PDF version of the Tariff, by the number 1 in the change column of the Access files, and not at all in the HTML version. Importers holding a tariff classification advance ruling should review Tariff Amendment T2026-1 and, if the new description affects the ruling, submit a ruling request to the CBSA office that issued it for validation.
