Import Tips
• Include CAD drawings showing integrated ball and needle roller elements for customs verification
• Label shipments clearly as 'combined bearings' to prevent reclassification as needle-only (8482.20)
• Check for country-of-origin rules; many are made in specialized facilities requiring origin certificates
