Aluminum Outer Bearing Ring Spacer from Japan
An aluminum spacer ring that positions the outer race in precision angular contact bearings. It qualifies for HTS 8482.99.65 as an 'other' part, not a full ring or iron/steel cage, used in semiconductor wafer grinders for vibration control. Ensures axial load distribution without qualifying for specific exclusions.

Import Tips
• Include CAD models and tolerance specs (e.g
• ±0.001mm) to demonstrate bearing-specific function
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing via incorrect country-of-melt declarations for aluminum content
• Pair with end-use statements for cleanroom/semiconductor apps to support duty drawback claims
