U.S. imports of bearing housings and plain shaft bearings (HS 848330) totaled $83.7M in May 2026, traded with 64 countries.
Importers of Bearing Housings and Plain Shaft Bearings paid $20.1M in duties in May 2026 — an effective duty rate of 28% on $72.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: May 2026 dataPlain shaft bearings and their housings—which support rotating shafts through sliding contact rather than rolling elements—are widely used in pumps, compressors, marine propulsion, and heavy equipment where shock loads or contaminated environments make rolling-element bearings impractical. China leads US import supply for this heading, followed by Mexico and Germany. The ten 10-digit lines distinguish housing type (ball/roller-bearing type vs. plain-bearing type), mounting configuration (flange, take-up, and similar units vs. standard housings), and whether plain shaft bearings are presented with or without a housing, with spherical plain bearings (8483308070) separated from non-spherical types (8483308090). Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin shipments, which represent a significant share of import volume for commodity-grade housings.

Rod-end bearings with a housing are specifically captured at 8483308055 as a distinct 10-digit line within the plain shaft bearing group. They are distinguished by their threaded shank and spherical inner ring, which allow angular misalignment—a design feature common in hydraulic cylinders, linkages, and steering systems. Plain shaft bearings without a housing that are spherical in type fall under 8483308070, while non-spherical types without housing go to 8483308090.
A bearing housing classifies under 8483.30 when it is imported without an incorporated bearing—that is, as a standalone structural component. Once a bearing is permanently integrated into the housing and the unit is presented as a complete housed bearing, it moves to 8483.20. The key test is whether the bearing is already incorporated at the time of importation, not whether it is intended to receive one.
