8482.10.50.36 - Under 9 mm

This classification, HTS Code 8482.10.50.36, pertains to single-row radial ball bearings that have an outside diameter of under 9 mm. These bearings are designed to support radial loads and are characterized by their relatively small size. They are commonly found in a wide array of precision applications where compact design and smooth operation are paramount, such as in small electric motors, cooling fans, computer components, and miniature mechanical devices.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is solely based on the outside diameter of the bearing. While this node specifically covers bearings with an outside diameter less than 9 mm, its sibling categories classify bearings with larger diameters: 9 mm and over but not over 30 mm (8482.10.50.44), over 30 mm but not over 52 mm (8482.10.50.48), over 52 mm but not over 100 mm (8482.10.50.52), and over 100 mm (8482.10.50.56). This precise dimensional cutoff is the primary criterion for correct classification.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification is finalized at this level based on the specific outside diameter of the radial ball bearing. Therefore, for goods falling under this classification, confirmation relies on verifying that the outside diameter meets the "under 9 mm" criterion, in addition to satisfying the broader requirements of being a single-row radial ball bearing.
