HS Code 4010.32 – Rubber; vulcanised, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts), other than V-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 60cm but not exceeding 180 cm
HS code 4010.32 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, vulcanised, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts), other than V-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 60cm but not exceeding 180 cm. It is used for industrial V-belt, agricultural V-belt, classic V-belt, fractional horsepower V-belt and lawnmower drive belt.
What HS 4010.32 covers
This HS code pertains to vulcanised rubber endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts) that are *not* V-ribbed, with an outside circumference exceeding 60 cm but not exceeding 180 cm. These are classic single V-belts, widely utilized for power transmission in a vast array of industrial, agricultural, and domestic machinery, including pumps, fans, compressors, and various processing equipment. They are valued for their robust construction, reliable power transfer, and ease of replacement. Importers typically include agricultural equipment suppliers, industrial distributors, and manufacturers of appliances and light machinery. Exporters are established belt manufacturers with extensive product lines. Important trade considerations include the specific V-profile (e.g., A, B, C sections), material compounds for oil and heat resistance, and adherence to dimensional standards to ensure proper fit and long service life in diverse applications.

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).
