Import Tips
• Verify material composition via mill certificates to confirm classification as bearing part vs general metal component
• Include detailed engineering drawings in documentation to prove function as ball bearing outer race
• Avoid misclassification as unfinished rings by demonstrating precision tolerances specific to bearings
