Alternative Classifications

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

8483.50.60.00Lower: 37.8% vs 44.9%

If used in semiconductor wafer grinders or polishers

Parts for machinery in statistical note 1 (semiconductor processing) may shift to Chapter 84 heading for grooved ball bearing machinery components.

7326.90.86Lower: 37.9% vs 44.9%

If for bulk industrial rings without bearing-specific tolerances

Loses Chapter 84 specificity if not precision-engineered for ball bearing function, falling to general steel articles.

8479.89Lower: 12.5% vs 44.9%

If imported as part of complete semiconductor testing machine

If integral to unlisted semiconductor equipment under statistical note, classifies as part of that machine rather than standalone bearing part.
