HS Code 4010.33 – Rubber; vulcanised, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts), V-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 180cm but not exceeding 240 cm

HS code 4010.33 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, vulcanised, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts), V-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 180cm but not exceeding 240 cm. It is used for heavy-duty V-ribbed belt, truck serpentine belt, industrial compressor belt, large engine accessory belt and power generation equipment belt.

What HS 4010.33 covers

This HS code covers vulcanised rubber endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts) that are V-ribbed, with an outside circumference exceeding 180 cm but not exceeding 240 cm. These larger V-ribbed belts are designed for heavy-duty power transmission in more substantial industrial machinery, commercial vehicles (like trucks and buses), and specialized equipment requiring higher power output over longer spans. They are critical components in applications such as large compressors, heavy-duty pumps, and industrial fans. Importers are typically heavy equipment manufacturers, large-scale industrial plants, and commercial vehicle service centers. Exporters are specialized industrial belt producers focusing on high-performance solutions. Key trade factors include the robust construction, high load capacity, specific rib profiles, and resistance to demanding operational conditions, ensuring reliability in critical heavy-duty applications.

Codes often confused with 4010.33

Common mistake. This code can be confused with 401031 (smaller V-ribbed belts) or 401032 (non-ribbed V-belts). The 'V-ribbed' feature combined with the 'larger circumference range' is the distinguishing factor.

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).
