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
