8482.10.50.60 - Double row ball bearings

This HTS category, 8482.10.50.60, specifically covers "Double row ball bearings." These bearings are characterized by having two concentric rows of ball bearings, offering enhanced load-carrying capacity and rigidity compared to single-row configurations. They are designed to support significant radial and axial loads from both directions, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Distinguishing these bearings from their sibling categories, "Single row bearings" (8482.10.50.50) would feature only one row of balls. The "Other" sibling category (8482.10.50.64) likely encompasses specialized or less common configurations of radial ball bearings that do not fit the "single row" or "double row" descriptions. The key differentiating factor remains the number of ball rows within the bearing assembly.

As a leaf node within the HTS classification system, 8482.10.50.60 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code relies on accurately identifying the item as a ball bearing with two rows of balls, designed for radial loads, and not fitting into any more specific sub-classifications. Examples might include certain types of automotive wheel bearings or industrial machinery bearings where increased load support is a primary design requirement.
