Import Tips & Compliance

Include load-bearing capacity specs and hardness ratings (e.g

HRC 60+) in import docs to distinguish from general bearings

Check for anti-dumping duties on rolls from specific countries like China or India

Label clearly as 'mill rolls only - not for resale as machine parts' to prevent reclassification
