HS Code 4010.11 – Rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, reinforced only with metal
HS code 4010.11 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, reinforced only with metal. It is used for steel cord conveyor belt, mining conveyor belt, quarry conveyor belt, port terminal conveyor belting and heavy-duty aggregate conveyor belt.
What HS 4010.11 covers
This HS code identifies vulcanised rubber conveyor belts and belting reinforced exclusively with metal, typically steel cords. These heavy-duty belts are engineered for extreme applications requiring high tensile strength, impact resistance, and long service life, such as in mining, quarrying, bulk material handling at ports, and large-scale construction projects. Importers are predominantly mining companies, cement manufacturers, port authorities, and heavy industry operators. Exporters are specialized manufacturers of industrial rubber products with expertise in steel cord reinforcement technology. Key trade considerations include belt width, thickness, tensile strength ratings, splice compatibility, and resistance to abrasion and cutting, as these factors are critical for operational efficiency and safety in demanding environments.

Codes often confused with 4010.11
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 401012 (textile-reinforced conveyor belts) or 401019 (other reinforced conveyor belts). The defining characteristic is reinforcement solely with metal.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 401011, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 401011 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 45% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Chile, with 7.7% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
