HS code for Combined ball roller bearing: 8482.80
Bearings, n.e.c. in heading no. 8482, including combined ball/roller.
Classification of combined ball roller bearing under HS 8482.80
Combined ball/roller bearings are classified under HS code 8482.80. This code serves as a category for bearings that incorporate both ball and roller elements within a single unit to handle both radial and axial loads efficiently. The classification is determined by the mechanical structure of the bearing, which does not fit exclusively into the specific categories for pure ball bearings (8482.10) or pure roller bearings (8482.20 through 8482.50). According to the Explanatory Notes for heading 8482, these combined units are often used in applications where space is limited but high precision and multi-directional load capacity are required. The classification follows General Interpretative Rule 1 and 3(c), as the product is a composite article that is not specifically described by a single earlier subheading. It is essential to distinguish these from "housed" bearings, which may move the classification to heading 8483 if they include transmission elements.

Codes often confused with 8482.80
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is placing these units under 8482.10 (ball bearings) or 8482.40 (needle roller bearings) by only identifying one of the rolling elements. Another common error involves HS code 8483.20, which covers bearing housings incorporating ball or roller bearings. If the bearing is integrated into a housing or a pillow block, it must be classified under 8483. Additionally, wheel hub units for vehicles are often misclassified here, but if they incorporate sensors or specific automotive mounting flanges, they may be classified under 8708. Technical drawings are usually required to prove the "combined" nature of the internal rolling elements.
Top exporters and importers of HS 848280 (the code used for combined ball roller bearing), 2025

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).
