HS Code 5910.00 – Textiles; transmission or conveyor belts or belting, of textile material, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, or reinforced with metal or other material
HS code 5910.00 is the 6-digit subheading for textiles, transmission or conveyor belts or belting, of textile material, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, or reinforced with metal or other material. It is used for textile conveyor belts, power transmission belts, flat drive belts, timing belts (textile core) and textile-reinforced V-belts.
What HS 5910.00 covers
This category encompasses transmission or conveyor belts and belting made primarily of textile material. These essential industrial components are used for power transmission in machinery or for conveying materials in various handling systems. The textile base provides flexibility and strength, and these belts can be further impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics, or reinforced with metal or other materials to enhance their performance, durability, and resistance to wear, chemicals, or heat. Importers are diverse, including manufacturing plants, mining operations, logistics and warehousing facilities, and agricultural machinery producers. Exporters are specialized industrial textile and belting manufacturers globally. The textile material is the core, even with heavy reinforcement.

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).
