Import Tips

• Verify bearing type (ball vs roller) and housing style (pillow block vs flange) match HTS 8483.20.4040; misclassification to 8483.20.6080 common for roller types

• Provide detailed engineering specs, CAD drawings, and end-use declaration to avoid scrutiny from Customs on semiconductor vs general machinery use

• Comply with ISO 9001 standards for quality; include certificates of origin for preferential duty rates under USMCA or similar FTAs
