Import Tips
• Verify bearing type (combined ball/roller) via manufacturer specs to confirm 8482.80.00 classification; misclassification as 8482.10 can lead to audits
• Include detailed engineering drawings and material certificates in documentation to prove 'other' status and avoid reclassification
• Check for anti-friction coating or preload features, as these may trigger additional scrutiny under machinery parts rules
