The literature says that the 3.5 K hub /drum in the dexter assembly is us made. What about the bearings? Are they import or us made as well?

Hey Paul! The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 84546UC3 is made in the USA but the bearings come from China. If you want USA made bearings you will have to replace them with the Timken # TMK52VR.
