4010.12.55.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 4010.12.55.00, encompasses conveyor belts and belting specifically constructed from vulcanized rubber that are reinforced *only* with textile materials. The key defining characteristic is the presence of textile reinforcement where man-made fibers constitute the predominant fiber by weight compared to any other single textile fiber. This means that if the textile reinforcement contains a blend of fibers, such as cotton and polyester, the polyester must weigh more than the cotton to fall under this specific classification.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 4010.12.50.00, by a specific width criterion. While 4010.12.50.00 covers conveyor belts and belting of a width exceeding 20 cm, this category (4010.12.55.00) does not have an explicit width restriction beyond what is implied by the broader parent categories. The defining feature here is the composition of the textile reinforcement, not the physical dimensions.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification under 4010.12.55.00 is definitive for conveyor or transmission belts and belting made of vulcanized rubber, reinforced solely with textiles where man-made fibers are predominant by weight over any other single fiber. Examples would include conveyor belts used in various industrial settings, such as mining, agriculture, or manufacturing, where the rubber provides durability and the man-made fiber reinforcement offers tensile strength and stability.
