Tariff classification
HTS codes: 8482.10.5052
Headings: 8482
Product description
With your request you submitted samples of two types of bearings. The first, commonly known as an "insert" bearing, is a single row, radial ball bearing, with a spherically shaped outer ring, two metal shields, and an outer diameter of 53 mm. The bearing has an extended inner ring with two pre-drilled set screws used to secure it to a shaft. This bearing is typically used for mounting into pillow block assemblies. The second bearing is also a single row, radial ball bearing with spherically shaped outer ring and dual shields. This bearing has an outer diameter of 85 mm and is characterized by a heavy inner ring which has a square slot through its center rather than a circular opening. This type of bearing is commonly used in the agricultural industry and is known as a disk harrow bearing. The unit is ultimately mounted into a heavy, rotatable disk used to plow fields.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for both bearings will be 8482.10.5052, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for single row, radial ball bearings having an outside diameter of over 52 mm but not over 100 mm.
