Import Tips
• Verify material composition via lab testing to confirm classification as plain shaft bearing vs. housed bearing
• Include detailed engineering drawings and end-use statements to avoid misclassification as machinery parts
• Ensure RoHS compliance documentation for electronics-adjacent imports to prevent customs delays
