Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If articles for chemical/technical conveyance or packing
Pots/jars for goods transport use 6909.12; pure bearings are functional technical wares.
If millstones or grinding wheels
Excluded Chapter 68 articles like grinding media; bearings have rolling not abrasive function.
If plain shaft bearings not of ceramic technical character
General transmission shaft bearings under 8483 if not qualifying as lab/chemical ceramics.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide firing process certification to prove compliance with Chapter 69 'fired after shaping' requirement
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests conveyance/packing goods under 6909.90; use technical spec packaging
• Test for water absorption per US note; high absorption may reclassify as earthenware under 6912
