Import Tips
• Provide tolerance specifications and shaft compatibility data to substantiate plain bearing function
• Ensure no lubrication grooves or coatings that might suggest classification as a complete housed bearing
• Label clearly as 'plain shaft bearing part' to prevent misclassification as a generic copper alloy article
