Tapered Roller Bearing Cup for Automotive Wheel Hub from Japan
This precision-machined steel cup serves as the outer race for tapered roller bearings used in automotive wheel hubs, enabling smooth rotation under high radial and axial loads. It falls under HTS 8482.99.1570 as an 'other' cup specifically for tapered roller bearings, distinct from ball or cylindrical roller types. Manufactured to exact tolerances for vehicle axles in cars and trucks.

Import Tips
• Verify bearing type certification to confirm tapered roller classification; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Include material test reports (e.g
• AISI 52100 steel) and dimensional specs in documentation for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfall of importing as sets—declare cups separately to prevent duty escalation
