HS Code 4010.34 – 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

HS code 4010.34 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 180cm but not exceeding 240 cm. It is used for industrial V-belts, agricultural V-belts, heavy-duty V-belts, power transmission V-belts and machine drive belts.

What HS 4010.34 covers

These V-belts are critical components in various industrial and agricultural machinery, facilitating power transmission between rotating shafts. In international trade, these specific-sized belts are in constant demand for maintenance, repair, and original equipment manufacturing (OEM) across sectors like heavy machinery, textile manufacturing, and food processing. Major importers are typically countries with robust manufacturing bases or significant agricultural industries, such as Germany, the USA, China, and India, where machinery uptime is paramount. Exporters often include countries with strong rubber product manufacturing capabilities, like China, Japan, and European nations. Key aspects to consider in trade include material quality (e.g., resistance to heat, oil, abrasion), precise dimensions for compatibility, and compliance with international standards (e.g., ISO, DIN). The market is driven by industrial growth, agricultural output, and the replacement cycle of machinery parts. Buyers look for durability and efficiency to minimize downtime and operational costs.

Codes often confused with 4010.34

Common mistake. This code can be confused with 401033 (V-belts <= 180cm) or 401039 (other transmission belts), as the primary distinction lies in the circumference and specific cross-section type.

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).
