8482.20.00.70 - For cups having an outside diameter not exceeding 102 mm

This HTS classification covers cone assemblies for tapered roller bearings where the outside diameter of the cup component does not exceed 102 millimeters. These cone assemblies are specifically designed to fit into tapered roller bearings and are imported or exported as separate parts, not as complete bearing units. They are integral components that, when paired with a matching cup, form a tapered roller bearing assembly used in various machinery and automotive applications.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 8482.20.00.81, which also covers cone assemblies for tapered roller bearings but is for those where the cup's outside diameter exceeds 102 mm but does not surpass 203 mm. The key differentiator is the specified maximum outside diameter of the associated cup. Additionally, it differs from 8482.20.00.90, "Other," which serves as a residual category for cone assemblies not meeting the specific diameter criteria of either 8482.20.00.70 or 8482.20.00.81.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is fully defined by the item itself (a cone assembly for a tapered roller bearing) and the critical dimensional criterion of the associated cup's outside diameter not exceeding 102 mm. Classification relies on verifying this specific dimension of the cup intended for use with the imported or exported cone assembly.
