HS code for Roller bearing: 8482.80
Bearings, n.e.c. in heading no. 8482, including combined ball/roller.
Classification of roller bearing under HS 8482.80
Roller bearings are classified under HS code 8482.80, which serves as a category for bearings not elsewhere specified within heading 8482. Heading 8482 is the primary classification for ball or roller bearings used in machinery to reduce friction between moving parts. While specific subheadings exist for tapered, spherical, and needle rollers, subheading 8482.80 is utilized for combined ball and roller bearings or other specialized roller bearing configurations that do not fit the more specific definitions. These components are essential in mechanical engineering, providing support for rotating shafts and handling radial or axial loads. The classification depends on the physical construction of the bearing and the shape of the rolling elements contained within the outer and inner rings.

Codes often confused with 8482.80
Common mistake. This code is often confused with more specific roller bearing codes such as 8482.20 (tapered roller bearings), 8482.30 (spherical roller bearings), and 8482.40 (needle roller bearings). If a bearing contains only one of these specific roller types, it must be classified under those specific codes rather than the general 8482.80. Additionally, plain shaft bearings without rolling elements are classified under 8483.30.
Top exporters and importers of HS 848280 (the code used for roller bearing), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 848280 (the code used for roller bearing) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 17% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was India, with 7.2% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
