Import Tips

Verify firing temperature exceeds 800°C and material is nonmetallic inorganic per Chapter 69 notes to avoid exclusion

Provide material composition certificates confirming ceramic properties like low water absorption for technical classification

Avoid misclassification as machinery parts under Chapter 84; emphasize standalone bearing function in technical docs
