The Ordering and Certification Process
When you buy a hydrometer from Bosagrape, Winters Instruments sends the manufacturer’s certificate of compliance and serial number to CBSA. Then CBSA issues the official excise Certificate of Compliance and sends it to you. The cost for certification is $33 per instrument, not included in the price. Turn-around time for you to receive the hydrometer is approximately one week plus shipping time.
We need the following information for the Certificate: end user/company name and complete physical address of the distillery, and the phone number and name of the contact person.
