Parts of ball bearings (including parts of ball bearings with integral shafts)

Analysis

HTS 8482.99.35 covers parts of ball bearings (including parts of ball bearings with integral shafts) under heading 8482 (ball or roller bearings, and parts thereof).

The general duty rate is 9.9% of the customs value, which is among the highest the rates in chapter 84 (100th percentile of 823 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $990 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

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 9.9%. 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.

Within this group the rate runs from 5.8% to 9.9%. Compared with 8482.99.65 (other: other), which pays 5.8%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4.1 percentage points.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 67%, 6.8 times the general rate.
