Any EHF charged by Panasonic Canada Inc. will appear on your invoice. For purchases of multiple designated products, multiple electronics EHF charges will appear on the invoice unless the item is a specially bundled product, in which case a single EHF, that is the amount of any individual EHF, will appear.
If a returned product was charged an EHF, the EHF amount will be reimbursed for the returned product only.
For more information on these programs, and a complete list of the designated products and associated EHF, please consult the applicable Provincial program's website.
