Product classification
HS code for Conveyor belt: 4010.39
Rubber, vulcanised, conveyor or transmission belts or belting, n.e.c. in heading no. 4010.
Classification of conveyor belt under HS 4010.39
Conveyor belts made of vulcanized rubber are classified under HS code 4010.39. This classification is determined by the material composition and the specific application of the product. Chapter 40 of the Harmonized System covers rubber and articles thereof. Heading 4010 is dedicated to conveyor or transmission belts or belting of vulcanized rubber. Within this heading, the system distinguishes between different types of belts, such as V-belts and synchronous belts. Subheading 4010.39 serves as the residual category for "other" conveyor belts that do not fit the specific geometric descriptions of the preceding subheadings. This includes flat belts and reinforced belts used in heavy industry. The classification applies to the belt as a component, whether it is imported in continuous lengths, rolls, or cut to specific sizes, provided it is made of vulcanized rubber.

Codes often confused with 4010.39
Common mistake. Conveyor belts are frequently misclassified based on their material. If the belt is made of plastics, it should be classified under 3926.90. If it is made of textile material without a thick rubber coating, it falls under 5910.00. Another common error is classifying the belt under 8428.33, which is the code for the entire conveyor system. The belt alone is a material component and must stay in Chapter 40 if made of rubber.

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).
