Import Tips
• Provide porosity test results proving self-lubrication to support plain bearing classification vs. anti-friction types
• Label assemblies with ID/OD dimensions and housing material to facilitate customs verification
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests separate components; import as complete housed assemblies
