FOB Qingdao / Tianjin

Most common option for experienced distributors. We deliver loaded onto vessel; you arrange freight through your forwarder. Lowest unit cost. Best for buyers shipping ≥ 5 containers per year.

CIF destination port

We pay sea freight + marine cargo insurance to your port. You handle import customs, duties, and inland trucking. Best for first-time importers without established forwarder relationships.

DDP delivered duty paid

We deliver to your warehouse with all import duties and taxes paid. Highest convenience, highest markup (22-35% over FOB). Good for test orders or markets with complex customs.

HS Codes for Bearings

Wheel hub bearings and most aftermarket bearings classify under HS 8482. Check your country's tariff schedule before ordering — import duty typically ranges 3-8%:

  • 8482.10 — Ball bearings (deep groove, angular contact, self-aligning, thrust)
  • 8482.20 — Tapered roller bearings (cup+cone trailer / truck axles)
  • 8482.30 — Spherical roller bearings (heavy industrial)
  • 8482.40 — Needle roller bearings
  • 8482.50 — Cylindrical roller (NUP / NU)
  • 8482.80 — Other ball / roller bearings and wheel-end bearing units

Documentation We Provide

Every CHKZ shipment includes:

  • Commercial Invoice with HS code, currency, and Incoterm declared
  • Packing List with carton dimensions, gross/net weight, and SKU breakdown
  • Certificate of Origin (FORM A or FORM E for ASEAN routes)
  • Bill of Lading (sea) or Air Waybill (air freight)
  • quality system documentation quality declaration
  • Photo and video documentation of loading (on request)

Marine Insurance

Whether on FOB or CIF terms, we strongly recommend marine cargo insurance — cost is 0.3-0.8% of cargo value. A single 40-foot container of bearings can carry $25,000-$80,000 of value; insurance protects against fall-overboard, port damage, and theft. CHKZ can arrange insurance on request even under FOB terms.
