HS-6 · Subheading

401033

Rubber; vulcanised, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts), V-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 180cm but not exceeding 240 cm

Heading 4010 — Conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanised rubber

Chapter 40: Rubber and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 401033 when importing or exporting vulcanized rubber V-belts with an outside circumference between 180 cm and 240 cm. For example, a shipment of V-belts for industrial machinery that fall within these measurements would be classified under this code.

This code specifically targets endless transmission belts with a trapezoidal cross-section, commonly used in various machinery. If your product is a V-belt but exceeds 240 cm in circumference, you would need to look at a different classification under this heading.

In contrast, HS-6 401034 covers similar V-belts but specifically for those with an outside circumference exceeding 240 cm. Ensure you measure your belts accurately to avoid misclassification and potential customs issues.

When dealing with V-belts, consider their end-use in machinery, as this can affect their classification. For example, belts designed for automotive applications may have different specifications compared to those used in agricultural equipment.
