A cylindrical bronze plain shaft bearing designed to reduce friction between rotating shafts and housings in heavy industrial equipment like conveyors and pumps. It falls under HTS 8483.30.80 as a plain shaft bearing, not incorporating balls or rollers, used in mechanical power transmission systems. These bushings provide self-lubricating properties for high-load applications.

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
