Import Tips
• 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
