Import Tips
• Include engineering drawings highlighting spherical inner/outer rings to distinguish from ball bearings
• Ensure invoices specify 'without housing' to prevent reclassification under housed bearing provisions
• For maintenance sets, declare as individual parts to avoid set classification issues
