The cylinder shaped bushing measures approximately: 9/16 inches long with an outside diameter of 1/2 inches, an inside diameter of 7/16 inches and a thickness of 1/16 inches.

The applicable subheading for the carbon graphite bushing will be 6815.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for: nonelectrical articles of graphite or other carbon. The rate of duty will be free.
