Antifriction Bearings, Ball — Singapore — A-559-801

“Antifriction bearings, ball” generally refers to ball bearings and related bearing products covered by a trade-remedy order. The product scope may depend on physical characteristics, design, materials, dimensions, and intended use—not just the product name or the tariff classification. The relevant legal scope is more important than a catalog description or HTSUS number.

AD means antidumping duties, which address merchandise sold in the United States at less than fair value. CVD means countervailing duties, which address benefits that a foreign government is found to have provided to producers or exporters. These measures can affect importers, manufacturers, distributors, and other parties entering covered bearings, and may require additional cash deposits, documentation, and later duty reconciliation. AD/CVD treatment can depend on the country of origin, producer, exporter, entry date, and the specific scope language.

What to check

• Compare the product’s technical specifications—such as bearing type, dimensions, materials, and design—with the official scope description, not just the product name or HTSUS classification.
• Confirm the country of origin and identify the producer and exporter; AD/CVD treatment can vary by these details.
• Review the applicable customs instructions for entry documentation, cash-deposit requirements, and importer responsibility before shipment.
• Ask CBP or a qualified customs broker to verify the tariff classification and whether the merchandise is covered; request a formal scope ruling when the scope is unclear.
• Keep purchase records, product drawings, bills of materials, origin evidence, and supplier certifications so you can support the entry and any later duty review.
