Import Tips
• Include grind charts and roundness measurements (≤0.5 μm) proving suitability only for ball bearings
• Mark invoices clearly 'outer race for radial ball bearings' to distinguish from thrust or angular contact types
• For high-volume fab imports, consider binding rulings on whether lapped surfaces qualify as 'finished' parts
