Stainless Steel Ball Bearing Cage from Japan

A precision-machined stainless steel cage designed to hold and space steel balls within a ball bearing assembly. It falls under HTS 8482.99.65 as a part of ball or roller bearings, specifically categorized as 'other' parts excluding rings, cages of iron/steel for balls ≥30mm, or thrust ball races. This component ensures proper ball alignment and reduces friction during operation.

Import Tips

Verify material composition via lab testing to confirm stainless steel and avoid misclassification under 8482.99.40 for iron/steel cages

Include detailed engineering drawings and end-use declarations in documentation to prove it's a bearing part, not a general machine component

Check for anti-dumping duties on bearing parts from specific countries like China or Germany
