Customs Clearance of Ball Bearings & Roller Bearings in Iran (HS Code + Documents & Permits)
Ball bearings and roller bearings are critical components in mechanical and industrial assemblies that ensure proper and optimal performance of various equipment. By reducing friction and distributing loads appropriately, these parts help increase the service life and efficiency of industrial equipment. Ball and roller bearings are used across a wide range of industries, including automotive, oil & gas, steel, mining, petrochemicals, and even household appliances. Due to the broad industrial demand for these parts and their importance in maintaining machine performance, the import and customs clearance process for these products is highly vital and sensitive.

Instant Free Consultation1) Types of Ball Bearings & Roller Bearings and Their Applications
Ball Bearings
Thanks to their simple design and high efficiency, these bearings are the most widely used across industries. Deep groove ball bearings can carry both radial and axial loads; therefore, they are used in equipment such as electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, compressors, and even agricultural machinery. With high-speed capability and low maintenance needs, they are suitable for general and specialized applications.
Designed to compensate for misalignment, these are ideal where shaft deflection or variable loads exist. They are mainly used in long-shaft equipment, textile machinery, and power transmission systems that require automatic alignment and combined load capacity. Self-alignment prevents issues caused by misalignment and extends equipment life.
Roller Bearings
Engineered for heavy radial loads and capable of high speeds. Because of their design, they’re used where high load capacity and stable performance are required, such as mining equipment, industrial mills, and heavy machinery. Their simple structure and heavy-load capacity make them ideal for industrial use.
Thanks to their geometry, they can carry radial and axial loads simultaneously. This makes them common in power transmission systems, automotive axles, gearboxes, and industrial machines with complex loading. Depending on type and contact angle, they serve a variety of loading conditions.
Designed for heavy radial and axial loads in harsh and contaminated environments. Common in industrial presses, mills, and heavy equipment that face combined loads under unstable conditions. They also compensate for minor shaft misalignments—critical in heavy industrial applications.

Submit Proforma Request5) Documents and Legal Requirements for Bearing Clearance
-
Proforma Invoice: Details the order item type, quantity, unit price, payment terms, and delivery time. Acts as a preliminary contract between seller and buyer and is required for customs clearance. Accuracy of the information is critical.
-
Packing List: Specifies packaging details such as number and type of packages, net/gross weight, dimensions, and contents of each package. Essential for inspection and matching with customs documents.
-
Certificate of Origin: Indicates the producing country. Issued by the Chamber of Commerce or other competent bodies. Helps customs apply proper tariffs and, in some cases, allows preferential rates under trade agreements.
-
Certificate of Conformity: Confirms bearings are produced in line with international standards such as ISO or ANSI covering quality, durability, and performance. In some countries, import without these certificates is not possible due to the critical nature of applications.
6) Standards and Quality Requirements
Defines a quality management system that ensures all production processes follow continual improvement and customer satisfaction. Importing from ISO 9001-certified manufacturers means high-quality products aligned with global standards.
ISO 14001:
Focuses on environmental management systems, ensuring bearing production processes protect the environment and reduce pollution especially important in today’s markets.
ANSI (American National Standards Institute):
ANSI standards focus on technical and performance requirements in the U.S. market. Bearings made to ANSI standards offer high quality and performance for complex and sensitive applications.
7) Special Import/Export Conditions and the Global Market
The global bearing market is driven by high demand across industries. China is the largest producer and exporter. European countries like Germany and Italy are also major exporters. The largest importers globally include the United States, India, and Brazil.
