8482.10.10.80 - Other

This HTS classification, 8482.10.10.80, covers "Other" ball bearings with integral shafts. This category serves as a residual classification for ball bearings where the shaft is a permanent part of the bearing assembly and the bearing does not meet the criteria of any more specific subheadings under 8482.10.10. This implies that the bearing is not characterized solely by its external diameter for classification purposes within this group.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8482.10.10.40, is crucial for accurate classification. While 8482.10.10.40 specifically applies to ball bearings with integral shafts having an outside diameter not exceeding 30 mm, this subheading, 8482.10.10.80, is for those with integral shafts that are larger than 30 mm or for any other integral shaft ball bearings that do not fit the diameter restriction of the sibling category. The presence of the integral shaft remains the defining characteristic for both.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification under 8482.10.10.80 lies in confirming that the item is indeed a ball bearing with an integral shaft and that it does not meet the specific criteria of the preceding subheadings within the 8482.10.10 grouping. Practical application would involve examining the physical dimensions and the construction of the bearing and its integrated shaft.
