Last updated: April 2026 dataBall bearings are a foundational precision component across automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and consumer electronics manufacturing, making them one of the most widely traded mechanical subassemblies in global commerce. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically targeted ball bearing imports from multiple origins, and importers should verify current order status with CBP before sourcing decisions. Precision grade, bore diameter, and load rating are the primary specification variables that determine both commercial suitability and correct tariff classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Key classification variables include whether the bearing is a radial or thrust type, its outer diameter, and whether it is a complete bearing or an assembly. The HTS schedule distinguishes among these configurations, so importers should have full technical specifications — including bore size and load direction — available at entry.
Antidumping duty orders on ball bearings from several countries have been in place for decades and are subject to periodic sunset reviews. Importers must check the current status of applicable orders with the US International Trade Commission and CBP, as scope, rates, and covered origins can change following each review.
