Last updated: August 2026 dataSpherical roller bearings are subject to Section 301 tariffs on shipments from China, a consideration that shapes sourcing decisions given that Sweden and Germany dominate US import supply, with Japan also a significant source. The double-row barrel-shaped roller design accommodates shaft misalignment, making these bearings critical in heavy industrial applications such as mining equipment, paper mills, and steel processing. The US tariff schedule divides the heading into single-row (8482300040) and all other configurations (8482300080), a distinction that affects both duty treatment and technical specification matching. Importers should verify bore size, dynamic load rating, and cage material against application requirements, as these parameters drive classification and interchangeability decisions.

The US schedule splits spherical roller bearings at the 10-digit level: single-row units fall under 8482300040, while all other configurations—including the more common double-row designs—are classified under 8482300080. Importers must confirm the row count from the manufacturer's technical datasheet before filing entry documents.
Yes. Spherical roller bearings imported from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard column 1 duty rate. Importers sourcing from Sweden, Germany, or Japan—the leading suppliers—do not face Section 301 exposure, which is a key factor in supplier selection for this heading.
