Sliding bearings are not like ordinary consumer goods. They involve many standards and procedures, and their role in mechanical equipment is of great importance. We must not take them lightly. Therefore, today I will answer the requirements and precautions in the export process of sliding bearings for you, and help you understand this complex process in an easy - to - understand language.

A sliding bearing, as the name implies, is a type of bearing that supports and guides the rotation or movement of a shaft through sliding friction. Compared with rolling bearings, sliding bearings do not have balls or rollers. The entire bearing surface reduces friction through lubricants and is mainly used in large - scale mechanical equipment that requires smooth operation and high load - bearing capacity, such as ship engines, generators, etc. Therefore, when exporting sliding bearings, special attention should be paid to their quality and specifications to ensure smooth exports.

The export of sliding bearings usually does not involve strict control, but this does not mean that we can relax our vigilance. If sliding bearings are used for certain specific purposes (such as military use), then it is also necessary to verify whether they are covered by the Export Control List or relevant control catalogs. If they are subject to control, then an export license must be applied for. This is something that must not be overlooked.

The export of sliding bearings also requires the preparation of a certificate of origin to prove where these bearings come from. This is very important for tariff preferences and compliance in the importing country. In addition, according to the requirements of the export destination country, some sliding bearings may also need to meet specific product certifications, such as CE certification or other internationally recognized quality certifications. The agency company will help handle these certifications to ensure that the bearings can be smoothly put on the market for sale in the importing country.

When it comes to the export of sliding bearings, trade compliance inspection is also of top priority. Sliding bearings are widely used in industrial equipment, and industrial equipment sometimes involves sensitive areas. Therefore, the agency company will conduct a qualification review of the customer to ensure that there is no violation of international sanctions, avoiding situations where the goods are seized or even legal disputes arise. Believe me, doing these review works in advance is definitely to avoid potential big pitfalls in the future.

The export of sliding bearings requires accurate customs code classification. Usually, sliding bearings are classified under Chapter 84 of the tariff schedule, specifically:

• HS編碼：8483.30
• Full Code: 8483.30.00
• Description: Bearing housings; sliding bearings

Basis for classification:

The classification of sliding bearings is based on the Harmonized System (HS code) formulated by the World Customs Organization (WCO), as follows:

• Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof
• Heading 8483: Transmission shafts (including camshafts and crankshafts) and cranks, bearing housings, sliding bearings, gears and gearing, ball or roller screws, racks and pinions, gearboxes and speed - changing gearing, flywheels and pulleys (including pulley blocks), clutches and bearing assemblies
• Sub - heading 8483.30: Bearing housings; sliding bearings
• Full Code: 8483.30.00: Bearing housings and sliding bearings

Reasons for Classification:

• Commodity Characteristics: A sliding bearing is a mechanical part used in mechanical equipment to support a rotating shaft and reduce friction. Its characteristic is that the shaft slides directly inside the bearing without rolling elements.
• According to the classification principles of the Harmonized System:
  • Classification according to function and use: The main function of a sliding bearing is to support a rotating shaft and reduce friction, which conforms to the description of Heading 8483.
  • Classify according to the commodity descriptionHeading: Item 8483.30 clearly includes bearing housings; plain bearings, so plain bearings should be classified under this item.
• Legal basis:
  • HS編碼通則Heading: Goods should be classified according to their most specific description.
  • Chapter notes and item notes of Chapter 84Heading: Provide detailed classification standards for machinery and their parts, supporting the classification of plain bearings under 8483.30.

This code accurately describes the purpose and nature of plain bearings, ensuring smooth customs clearance during the customs declaration process. In addition, the agency company will ensure the correct classification according to the specific type and parameters of plain bearings to avoid customs clearance obstacles caused by misclassification, which would waste time and cost.

Most plain bearings are metal products. They do not have as high requirements for environmental conditions as precision electronic components, but they are also afraid of getting damp and rusting. Therefore, during the export transportation process, the agency company will pay special attention to the moisture-proof treatment of the packaging. Usually, plain bearings are wrapped with oiled paper and sealed in a waterproof plastic bag, and then transported in a sturdy wooden box. This packaging method can effectively prevent the bearings from being damaged by moisture during long - distance sea transportation, ensuring that the goods are still as good as new when they reach the customer.

The export of plain bearings involves many complex links, and the agency company plays an important role in each link. Now lets take a brief example to see how the agency company helps customers successfully complete the export of plain bearings.

1. Provide the agency companys account for the customer to make payment
   • First of all, you need to provide the bank account information of the agency company to the foreign customer, allowing them to transfer the payment for goods into the account of the agency company. The agency company is responsible for receiving the payment from foreign merchants to ensure the safety and compliance of funds.
2. Receive the US dollars transferred by foreign merchants
   • After the agency company confirms the receipt of the US dollar payment from foreign merchants, it will notify the customer as soon as possible and prepare for the subsequent operation process.
3. Operations of the agency company
   • Transfer money to the factoryHeading: After deducting the agency fee from the received payment for goods, the agency company transfers the money to the factory that produces plain bearings to ensure the smooth progress of production.
   • Book shipping space and prepare for shipmentHeading: The agency company arranges to book shipping space and prepare for shipment matters, including contacting the freight company to ensure that the plain bearings can be shipped in a timely manner.
4. Actual export of goods
   • Provide the bill of lading to the customerHeading: After the goods are shipped, the agency company will obtain the bill of lading and hand it over to the customer so that the customer can handle the relevant matters in the importing country in a timely manner.
   • The factory issues an invoice to the agencyHeading: The factory issues an invoice according to the requirements of the agency company to ensure that all documents are complete for smooth customs declaration andIn order to crack down on tax evasion, the customs and tax departments are now strictly examining the operation of buying export declarations. If the behavior of buying export declarations is discovered, the regulatory authorities will require tax replenishment (even a 2% tax rate may be a considerable amount). In addition, fines may also be imposed on the relevant responsible parties..
5. Settlement between the agency company and the principal
   • The agency company conducts financial settlement with the principal according to the contract terms, collects or pays the corresponding amount, and completes the entire transaction process. In this way, the customer only needs to focus on the production and quality of the products, and other complex processes are handled by the agency company.

Although plain bearings are not as valuable as some high - tech products, their role in mechanical equipment is irreplaceable. Therefore, when arranging international logistics, the agency company usually recommends that customers purchase export insurance to prevent losses caused by accidents during transportation. Especially during the process, there are many uncertain factors. With the guarantee of insurance, the entire export process can be more reassuring.Maritime TransportationThe export of plain bearings seems simple, but in fact, there are quite a few details involved. From export licenses to customer reviews, from customs declaration and classification to packaging and transportation, every step needs to be strictly controlled. Fortunately, with the assistance of the company, these complex problems can be professionally handled. You only need to focus on producing high - quality plain bearings, and leave the remaining export processes to the professional agency company.
