The sleeve is mounted onto support pins of a tape guidance trolly assembly, where it functions as a guide pulley for the magnetic tape.

The applicable subheading for the sleeve/bearing assembly will be 8483.50.9080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other, flywheels and pulleys, other. The rate of duty will be 4.5 percent ad valorem.
