For Canada, confirm 60 Hz compatibility and the actual site voltage, since some industrial locations use 600 V. If the equipment is retail-facing, confirm the bilingual labelling requirement. Documentation follows a broker-led process similar to the US, and duty depends on the HS code and current measures.
Canada
Voltage, frequency and plug type drive the charger and motor specification, so they come first.
120 / 208 / 240 / 600 V
60 Hz
Type B / NEMA variants
60 Hz with the same plug convention as the US. Some industrial sites use 600 V, which must be confirmed before specifying the charger.
