Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied without housing
Plain shaft bearings excluding those with housing fall under the 'not incorporating ball or roller bearings' subheading.
If imported as part of aircraft or semiconductor equipment
Parts of engines or semiconductor processing machines may take Chapter 84 specific provisions over general bearings.
If designed solely for measuring equipment
Precision bearings for instruments and apparatus in Chapter 90 supersede Chapter 84 classification.
