HS Code 4010Conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanised rubber
10 six-digit codes · Heading 10 of 17 in Chapter 40 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 4010 covers rubber conveyor belts and transmission belts made of vulcanised rubber, including V-belts, V-ribbed belts and synchronous belts.
Heading 4010 is finely cut: 10 six-digit codes, 401011 to 401039, all of them under “Conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanised rubber”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 10 of 17 in Chapter 40, Rubber and articles thereof, which runs to 80 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 4010 covers
This heading groups rubber belts by the job they do. Vulcanised rubber is rubber cured with heat and chemicals, so it is strong and springy.
The first family is rubber conveyor belts, which carry loads from one point to another. The second is transmission belts, which link two wheels and pass power between them. Transmission belts here are endless V-belts with a trapezoidal cross-section, and endless synchronous belts, often called timing belts.
The table above follows this split. Code 401039 catches the rest.
How to choose the right 4010 subheading
Work through the steps in order, and read the full code wording before you file a declaration. First ask what the belt does. If it carries goods, look at the conveyor codes. If it drives a machine, look at the transmission codes.
For endless belts, the size that matters is the outside circumference. This is the length around the outer face of the belt.
- Conveyor belt with any other reinforcement, including a mix: 401019.
- V-belt with ribs, outside circumference over 60 to 180 cm: 401031. Without ribs: 401032.
- V-belt with ribs, over 180 to 240 cm around: 401033. Without ribs: 401034.
- Endless synchronous belt, over 60 to 150 cm: 401035.
- A belt that fits none of these, such as a size outside every band, is checked against 401039.
HS 4010 vs related rubber headings
Rubber goods often look alike, so the boundaries matter. Belts sit in 4010. Other shapes of vulcanised rubber sit elsewhere.
For hoses, tubes and pipes, see heading 4009. Plain plates, sheets, strip, rods and profile shapes belong in heading 4008. Vulcanised rubber articles not named in another heading land in heading 4016. Hard rubber, such as ebonite, has its own heading, 4017. If you trade tyres, heading 4011 covers new pneumatic tyres.

HS Code 4010: common questions
What is HS code 4010?
It is the customs heading for belts and belting of vulcanised rubber, used to move goods or drive machines. Its subheadings run from 401011 to 401039.
What is the HS code for rubber conveyor belts?
Check the reinforcement. Metal only, textile only, or anything else decides between 401011, 401012 and 401019.
What is the HS code for V-belts?
Look at 401031 to 401034. Ribbing and size pick the exact code, as the steps above show.
What is the HS code for synchronous (timing) belts?
Timing belts are endless synchronous belts, so start with 401035 and 401036. A belt outside those sizes is checked against 401039.
What is the difference between HS 401031 and 401032?
Only the ribs differ. Both cover V-belts of the same size band, but one is V-ribbed and the other is not.
Are rubber hoses classified under 4010?
No. Hoses have their own rubber heading, 4009.
How can I find importers and exporters of HS 4010 products?
Pick the six-digit code that fits your belt, then search records for that code. The import and export data pages linked here are the place to start.
