Alternative Classifications

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

8482.10.50Higher: 44% vs 38.8%

If used primarily as a bearing component without linear motion intent

Plain shaft bearings or similar articles fall under 8482 if not functioning as roller screws for transmission.

8479.89.65.00Lower: 20.3% vs 38.8%

If imported as integral part of a complete CNC machine

Parts of machines not specified elsewhere are classified with the machine under Chapter 84 headings.

9031.80.80.85Lower: 35% vs 38.8%

If precision-ground with measurement scales for positioning systems

Measuring or checking instruments incorporating linear scales go to Chapter 90.
