Other ball bearing (radial type) of bore diameter not exceeding 50 mm
Radial ball bearings, bore diameter not exceeding 50 mm
HSN 8482 10 20 (Other radial-type ball bearings with bore diameter not exceeding 50 mm) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other bearing types and sizes within Chapter 84 — including larger-bore ball bearings or roller bearings — may be classified under sibling tariff lines where compliance obligations differ.
The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: bearings described imprecisely in shipping documents may be re-classified by customs to a different bearing type or bore-size bracket, triggering retrospective compliance and potential detention pending re-examination. Product documentation should specify bearing type (radial, angular-contact, thrust), bore diameter, and outer dimensions to anchor the classification. Classification errors in Chapter 84 are among the more frequently litigated in Indian customs practice.
