8482.99.25.60 - For other cylindrical roller bearings

This HTS classification, 8482.99.25.60, specifically covers parts of ball or roller bearings that are classified as "inner or outer rings or races" and are intended for use with cylindrical roller bearings. These components are crucial for the functioning of cylindrical roller bearings, facilitating smooth rotation by providing the raceway for the rollers. The classification is broad within the "other" subcategory for inner or outer rings or races, meaning it encompasses cylindrical roller bearing rings that do not fit into more specific sub-classifications if they existed.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's important to note the specific type of roller bearing the parts are designed for. Category 8482.99.25.20 is for spherical roller bearings, while 8482.99.25.40 pertains to needle bearings. This current classification, 8482.99.25.60, is exclusively for cylindrical roller bearings, differentiating it based on the geometric design and load-carrying capabilities of the bearing system. The sibling category 8482.99.25.80 serves as a residual category for other types of rings or races not otherwise specified.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node in the tariff schedule, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this particular classification. Therefore, all parts classified as inner or outer rings or races for cylindrical roller bearings that do not meet the criteria for more specific (and non-existent) sub-classifications will fall under this heading. Classification decisions at this level will rely on verifying the intended application of the ring or race with cylindrical roller bearings and its physical characteristics as an inner or outer race component.
