HS code · 6-digit subheading
HS Code 8482.50 – Bearings; cylindrical roller bearings, including cage and roller assemblies n.e.c. in heading no. 8482
HS code 8482.50 is the 6-digit subheading for bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, including cage and roller assemblies n.e.c. in heading no. 8482. It is used for single row cylindrical roller bearings, double row cylindrical roller bearings, full complement cylindrical roller bearings, thrust cylindrical roller bearings and tapered bore cylindrical roller bearings.
What HS 8482.50 covers
This category encompasses cylindrical roller bearings, including their cage and roller assemblies, which are not elsewhere specified in heading 8482. These bearings are engineered for heavy-duty applications, offering high radial load capacity and suitability for high-speed operations. They are indispensable in industrial machinery, gearboxes, electric motors, railway applications, and steel mills, where robust performance and reliability are paramount. Major importers are typically manufacturers of heavy industrial equipment and machinery, integrating these critical components into their production lines. Exporters are global bearing manufacturing giants, often leveraging advanced metallurgy and precision grinding techniques. The trade in cylindrical roller bearings is characterized by stringent quality control, material specifications, and often involves long-term supply contracts due to their critical role in industrial infrastructure.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
