4010.32.30.00 - Combined with textile materials

This HTS category, 4010.32.30.00, specifically classifies endless transmission belts of vulcanized rubber with a trapezoidal cross-section (commonly known as V-belts) that have an outside circumference exceeding 60 cm but not exceeding 180 cm, and are combined with textile materials. The inclusion of textile reinforcement is a key characteristic, providing enhanced tensile strength and dimensional stability to these belts, making them suitable for demanding power transmission applications in various industrial machinery and automotive systems.

This subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 4010.32.60.00 ("Other"), by the explicit presence of textile materials integrated into their construction. While both fall under endless V-belts within the specified circumference range, this specific classification requires the verifiable presence and integration of textile components. Goods classified under 4010.32.60.00 would typically be V-belts of the same size and shape but constructed solely of rubber or synthetic elastomers without textile reinforcement.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, the focus for classification into 4010.32.30.00 rests on confirming the V-belt configuration, the defined circumference range (over 60 cm and up to 180 cm), and the essential combination with textile materials for reinforcement.
