Import Tips

Provide metallurgical certificates confirming brass composition to distinguish from ferrous alternatives

Label shipments clearly as 'bearing retainers' with OEM part numbers to prevent reclassification as general hardware

Anticipate higher duties if originating from countries with bearing parts quotas; use HTS lookup tools for verification
