Ball bearings

HS v2022 Code: 848210

About ball bearings

HS code 848210 covers ball bearings, a critical component in a wide range of industrial and consumer products. Ball bearings play a vital role in reducing friction and enabling smooth, efficient motion in machinery, vehicles, and various other applications. They are an essential part of the global manufacturing and transportation infrastructure, contributing to the overall productivity and performance of the economy.

Production process

The production of ball bearings typically involves a series of precision manufacturing steps. This includes the formation of inner and outer rings, the grinding and polishing of the bearing races, and the insertion of the rolling elements (balls) between the races. Advanced techniques, such as heat treatment and surface coatings, are often employed to enhance the durability and performance of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of ball bearings include high-quality steel alloys, specialized machinery for bearing manufacturing, and precision tools for grinding and finishing. Additionally, lubricants and other consumables are necessary to ensure the smooth operation and longevity of the bearings.

Production outputs

Ball bearings produced under HS code 848210 are widely used in a variety of industries, including 870000 Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, 840000 Machinery and mechanical appliances, and 950000 Toys, games and sports requisites. They are essential components in the manufacture of motors, gearboxes, wheels, and other moving parts, contributing to the efficient and reliable operation of a wide range of products.
