Steam Turbine Thrust Bearing from Germany
Steam turbine thrust bearings are tilting pad bearings that absorb axial loads from steam pressure differentials on rotors, oil-lubricated for continuous 24/7 operation. These bearings are classified as 'other' parts under tariff item 8406.90.39, as they are not rotors, blades, or other specifically named turbine components.

Import Tips
• Classify the bearing as a part of a steam turbine, not as a general bearing under heading 84.82
• Provide specifications showing the bearing is designed for turbine rotor axial loads
• If the bearing is imported with other turbine parts, consider whether the set constitutes a complete machine requiring different classification
