Analysis
HTS 8482.20.00 covers tapered roller bearings, including cone and tapered roller assemblies under heading 8482 (ball or roller bearings, and parts thereof). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 9 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items and kilograms.
The general duty rate is 5.8% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 84 (98th percentile of 823 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $580 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Rates on the nearby lines range from 2.4% to 9.9%. The costliest confusion would be with 8482.99.35 (parts of ball bearings (including parts of ball bearings with…) at 9.9%, a difference of 4.1 points on the customs value.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Automotive Products Trade Act, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, and 13 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 5.8%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 67%, 11.6 times the general rate.
The ten-digit suffixes separate flanged, with cups having an outside diameter…, with cups having an outside diameter…, with cups having an outside diameter…, for cups having an outside diameter not… and for cups having an outside diameter…. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
