8482.99.65.10 - For spherical roller bearings

This HTS sub-heading, 8482.99.65.10, specifically classifies parts and accessories for spherical roller bearings. Spherical roller bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing designed to accommodate misalignment and heavy loads, typically featuring two rows of rollers and a common spherical outer raceway. This classification would encompass individual components such as cages, rollers, seals, or gaskets that are exclusively designed for use in spherical roller bearings.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it is important to note the specific type of roller bearing. HTS 8482.99.65.30 covers parts for needle bearings, which have long, thin cylindrical rollers. HTS 8482.99.65.60 pertains to parts for cylindrical roller bearings where the rollers are also cylindrical but generally shorter and wider than those in needle bearings. The "Other" sibling, 8482.99.65.95, would cover parts for any other types of roller bearings not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this classification. Therefore, the practical application of this heading relies on correctly identifying the part as exclusively intended for a spherical roller bearing. Classification hinges on the intended use and specific design of the component, ensuring it is not a general-purpose part that could be used in multiple bearing types.
