Most ball and roller bearings are classified under HS heading 8482, but there is no single HS code for every bearing product. The correct classification depends on the bearing’s rolling elements, structural design, housing configuration and whether the shipment contains a complete bearing or separate parts. Ball bearings generally fall under 8482.10, tapered roller bearings under 8482.20, spherical roller bearings under 8482.30, needle roller bearings under 8482.40, and other cylindrical roller bearings under 8482.50. Housed bearing units and plain shaft bearings are generally classified under heading 8483. Importers should use these six-digit codes as a starting reference and verify the complete national tariff code through the destination country’s official customs database or a licensed customs broker before shipment.
