8482.30.00.80 - Other

This HTS category, 8482.30.00.80, specifically addresses "Other" spherical roller bearings. This classification is designed to encompass spherical roller bearings that do not fall under the more specific "Single row" designation. Spherical roller bearings are characterized by their two rows of rollers and a common spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing them to accommodate misalignment and heavy loads.

The distinction between this "Other" category and the sibling "Single row" category (8482.30.00.40) lies in the internal configuration and number of roller rows. While "Single row" clearly pertains to spherical roller bearings with only one set of rollers, the "Other" category captures those that are not single-row, implying they may possess multiple rows of rollers or other unique design features not otherwise specified.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 8482.30.00.80 is therefore determined by a process of elimination, ensuring that spherical roller bearings exhibiting characteristics beyond those of single-row configurations are correctly assigned. Examples within this "Other" category might include certain heavy-duty, multi-row spherical roller bearing designs utilized in demanding industrial applications where robust load-carrying capacity and misalignment tolerance are paramount.
