8482 — Ball or roller bearings

Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8482 when importing or exporting ball or roller bearings, such as a shipment of ball bearings for automotive applications. This heading covers various types of bearings used in machinery and equipment, crucial for ensuring smooth operation.

Deciding between HS-6 lines can be tricky. For example, if you're importing tapered roller bearings, select 848220; however, if your shipment consists of spherical roller bearings, choose 848230. Understanding the specific type of bearing is essential for proper classification.

Another important distinction is between needle roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings. If your product includes needle roller assemblies, go with 848240. On the other hand, for cylindrical roller bearings, use 848250. Each subheading has specific criteria that determine its classification.
