HS Code 8482.99 – Bearings; parts, (other than balls, needles and rollers)
HS code 8482.99 is the 6-digit subheading for bearings, parts, (other than balls, needles and rollers). It is used for inner rings, outer rings, bearing cages, bearing seals and bearing shields.
What HS 8482.99 covers
This category encompasses all other parts of bearings, specifically excluding the primary rolling elements (balls, needles, and rollers) which are classified under 848291. This includes crucial components such as inner and outer rings, cages, seals, shields, and retainers. These parts are vital for the structural integrity, protection, and proper functioning of a complete bearing assembly, ensuring the rolling elements are correctly spaced, lubricated, and shielded from contaminants. Importers are typically bearing manufacturers who source these components for assembly, or MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) suppliers for aftermarket support. Exporters are specialized manufacturers of these precision-machined or molded parts, often working with various materials like steel, brass, or polymers. The global trade in these diverse parts is driven by the continuous demand for finished bearings and the need for comprehensive aftermarket solutions.

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).
