8482.99.15.80 - Other

This HTS classification, 8482.99.15.80, covers components that are specifically designed for the construction of tapered roller bearings, excluding the "cups." Tapered roller bearings are characterized by their conical shape, allowing them to simultaneously support radial and axial loads. This subcategory specifically encompasses the remaining parts of these bearings that are not designated as cups, such as cones or rollers, when they are not further classified elsewhere.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, "Cups" (8482.99.15.70), lies in the specific function and physical form of the component. While "cups" refer to the outer race assembly that houses the rollers and cone, this category addresses the other essential components that make up the tapered roller bearing system. The purpose of this segmentation is to ensure precise classification based on the individual elements that constitute the bearing.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus is on accurately identifying all components that are integral to tapered roller bearings, excluding the outer race (cup), and fall under the general "Other" designation for bearing parts. Examples within this scope could include the cone assembly (inner race with integrated rollers) or individual rollers, provided they are not classified under more specific headings for bearing parts.
