Import Tips
• Submit hardness test results (58-65 HRC) and dimensional specs to customs for bearing needle verification
• Use HTS statistical suffixes accurately; .0040 specifically denotes needles vs other bearing elements
• Avoid pitfall of classifying heat-treated needles as unfinished steel under 7228—specify bearing end-use
