Bearings; spherical roller bearings

Heading 8482Ball or roller bearings

Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 848230 when importing or exporting spherical roller bearings. These components are essential in machinery, allowing for smooth rotation and reduced friction. For example, a shipment of spherical roller bearings used in industrial conveyor systems would fall under this code.

Spherical roller bearings differ from other types of bearings, such as cylindrical or tapered roller bearings, which are classified under different HS codes like 848220. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate customs classification and duty assessment.

This HS-6 line specifically covers bearings designed to accommodate both radial and axial loads in both directions, making them suitable for heavy machinery applications. They typically feature an inner and outer ring with a set of spherical rollers in between.

When classifying your products, consider the design and intended use of the bearings. For instance, spherical roller bearings used in automotive applications may have different specifications compared to those used in wind turbines.
