4010.39.45.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 4010.39.45.00, specifically covers transmission belts or belting made from vulcanized rubber that are of a width not exceeding 20 cm. These belts are designed to transmit power between shafts and are characterized by their construction where the textile components, by weight, predominantly consist of man-made fibers. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that these belts do not fit into more specific prior subheadings based on width or construction of textile components.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 4010.39.41.00, the primary differentiating factor is the width. While 4010.39.41.00 encompasses transmission belts exceeding 20 cm in width, this category is reserved for those transmission belts with a maximum width of 20 cm. Both categories, however, share the fundamental characteristic of being transmission belts made of vulcanized rubber with a predominance of man-made fibers by weight in their textile components.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 4010.39.45.00 is final once the criteria of being a transmission belt of vulcanized rubber, with a width not exceeding 20 cm, and containing man-made fibers predominating by weight in its textile components, are met. Examples of such belts could include those used in smaller machinery, appliances, or automotive applications where narrower power transmission is required.
