HS-6 · Subheading
401034
Rubber; vulcanised, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts), other than 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 401034 when importing or exporting vulcanized rubber transmission belts, specifically endless V-belts with a trapezoidal cross-section. For example, a shipment of V-belts with an outside circumference of 200 cm fits this classification.
This code applies to V-belts that exceed 180 cm but do not surpass 240 cm in circumference. If your belts are shorter or have a different design, such as V-ribbed belts, you will need to look at other codes under HS-4 4010.
V-belts classified under this code are commonly used in various machinery and automotive applications, providing efficient power transmission. They differ from other rubber products like hoses or sheets, which fall under different HS codes.
When considering this HS-6, check if your product specifications match the trapezoidal cross-section requirement. If you have belts with a circumference of 250 cm or more, they would not be classified here.

- What types of belts does HS-6 401034 cover?
- HS-6 401034 covers endless V-belts made of vulcanized rubber with a trapezoidal cross-section, specifically those with an outside circumference between 180 cm and 240 cm.
- Can I use this code for belts shorter than 180 cm?
- No, if your belts are shorter than 180 cm, they do not qualify under HS-6 401034 and you will need to find a different classification.
- Are V-ribbed belts classified under the same code?
- No, V-ribbed belts are classified under a different HS code. HS-6 401034 specifically excludes V-ribbed designs.
- What is the significance of the trapezoidal cross-section?
- The trapezoidal cross-section is important for the belt's fit and performance in machinery. It ensures proper power transmission and compatibility with pulleys.
- What should I do if my V-belts exceed 240 cm in circumference?
- If your V-belts exceed 240 cm, you will need to look for a different HS code that applies to longer belts, as HS-6 401034 has a strict limit.
- How do I ensure compliance when importing these belts?
- To ensure compliance, verify that your product specifications match the HS-6 401034 criteria and consult with a customs broker for proper documentation.
- What are the common uses for V-belts classified under this code?
- Common uses for V-belts under HS-6 401034 include applications in industrial machinery, automotive engines, and agricultural equipment for power transmission.
- How can I determine the right HS code for my rubber products?
- To determine the right HS code, carefully review product specifications, dimensions, and intended use, and consult with a customs expert if needed.
