Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8482.91.00Lower: 39.4% vs 44%

If ceramic balls imported separately from races

Individual bearing balls, even ceramic, classify as bearing parts rather than complete bearings.

6909.19.50Lower: 39% vs 44%

If pure ceramic bearings without metal components

All-ceramic articles for machinery may classify under ceramic products if not predominantly bearing function.

9031.49Lower: 10% vs 44%

If integral to semiconductor wafer testing profilometers

Precision measuring instruments for semiconductor flatness testing take precedence over bearing classification.
