From a compliance perspective，the core of bearing import lies in HS code classification and origin risks. Bearings mainly fall under item 8482，but detailed categories (such as ball，needle，roller) have large tariff differences，and incorrect classification will lead to customs audits. Key checks: 1. Whether the exporting country enjoys MFN tariff rates，2. Whether there are anti-dumping duties (e.g。ball bearings originating from certain countries have high anti-dumping duties)，3. Whether the manufacturer provides a declaration of conformity and certificate of origin. It is recommended to require the other party to provide ISO 9001 and specific bearing standard certifications (such as ABEC grade)，and stipulate return clauses for non-conforming technical parameters in the contract. During import declaration，customs may check price authenticity，so prepare email correspondence records in advance as supporting evidence.

In logistics, bearings are precision parts, and rust-proof packaging is key. It is recommended to use FOB terms and control the forwarder yourself to avoid low clearance efficiency of foreign forwarders under CIF. For sea freight, a small container can hold 8-10 tons, taking about 30 days from Shanghai to Hamburg. Air freight is suitable for urgent items, but the cost is 8-10 times that of sea freight. Regarding documents, besides invoice and packing list, material certificate and heat treatment report must be provided, otherwise commodity inspection will block it. Check if wooden pallets have IPPC marks upon pickup; otherwise, clearance will face fines. Suggest the manufacturer coat bearings with rust-proof oil, use vacuum packaging + desiccant, so sea freight humidity is not a fear.

Verify manufacturer information, don't just look at the official website and Alibaba. First step, ask the other party to provide export customs declaration forms from the last three years (cover amounts but keep customs stamps) and customer reference letters. Second step, entrust a third-party factory audit (such as SGS), focusing on whether the production line is clean and tidy, and whether the quality control process is standardized. During negotiation, insist on 30% deposit + 70% against B/L copy for payment, or open a sight L/C. In terms of script, you can ask "Who are your main customers in the European market?"; be alert if they are evasive. For the first cooperation, control the order volume within $10,000 to test their response speed and quality control. The contract must include clauses for "full refund for non-conforming technical parameters" and "5% deduction per week for late delivery".
