HTS codes: 8482.10.5004
Headings: 8482
Product description
The nylon load wheel consists of a “tire” of nylon around a metal outer race , an inner race, steel balls contained by the outer and inner races , and a hub. You indicate the races of the load wheel are not ground and it appears from our visual examination of the submitted sample that the races have been machined to their final surface finish by tooling operations other than grinding. The load wheel is essentially a radial ball bearing used in a conveyor chain assembly to minimize friction while allowing the chain to support a load and follow along a guide track.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the nylon load wheel will be 8482.10.5004, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for unground ball bearings.
