U.S. imports of bearing housings without ball or roller bearings; plain shaft bearings (SITC 74822) totaled $82.2M in April 2026, traded with 63 countries.
Importers of Bearing Housings without Ball or Roller Bearings; Plain Shaft Bearings paid $19.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 29% on $66.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBare bearing housings — sold without a rolling-element insert — and plain shaft bearings (sleeve, journal, and bush bearings) are grouped under SITC 74822, reflecting their distinct commercial role as either structural mounting components or low-speed, high-load friction-bearing elements. Plain shaft bearings in bronze, babbitt, PTFE-lined, or sintered metal grades serve applications in heavy machinery, marine propulsion, and hydroelectric equipment where rolling-element bearings are impractical. The classification boundary with SITC 74821 (housings incorporating rolling bearings) is a recurring source of entry disputes when housings are shipped with bearing inserts as loose, unassembled components.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
This is a genuine classification gray area. CBP may treat unassembled components as a set classified by the essential character of the whole — potentially under 74821 — or may classify each component separately. Importers shipping housings and bearing inserts in the same shipment should consider requesting a binding ruling to avoid post-entry reclassification.
Common materials include leaded bronze, babbitt (tin- or lead-based white metal), sintered iron-copper, and PTFE-lined composites. At the SITC level, all plain shaft bearings fall under 74822 regardless of material. At the HTS 10-digit level, material composition can influence subheading placement, so importers should obtain a material certification from the manufacturer.
