Import Tips & Compliance

Verify dynamic/static load ratings and precision class (e.g

C0-C3) in technical specs for correct subheading classification

Include manufacturer test certificates showing ball recirculation mechanism to confirm as ball-type linear bearing

Avoid misclassification as plain shaft bearings; provide CAD drawings illustrating rolling elements
