Conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanised rubber
HS v2017 Code: 4010
About conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanised rubber
HS code 4010 covers the production and trade of conveyor or transmission belts and belting made from vulcanized rubber. These essential industrial components play a crucial role in the smooth operation of machinery and equipment across a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and transportation. As a key input for many industries, the 4010 product group is an important part of the broader global supply chain and economy.
Production process
The production of conveyor or transmission belts and belting under HS code 4010 typically involves the vulcanization of rubber compounds. This process combines rubber with various additives, such as reinforcing fibers and chemicals, to enhance the material's strength, flexibility, and durability. The vulcanized rubber is then shaped and molded into the desired belt or belting form, often with the incorporation of fabric or metal reinforcements to further improve its performance characteristics.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of 4010 products include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various reinforcing materials like textile fibers, steel cords, and other additives. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and vulcanizing presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating these specialized production technologies.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the 4010 industry are conveyor belts and transmission belts or belting, which are used in a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 8429 Earth-moving machinery, 8431 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machinery of headings 84.25 to 84.30, and 8474 (Machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing or kneading earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances, in solid (including powder or paste) form; machinery for agglomerating, shaping or molding solid mineral fuels, ceramic paste, unhardened cements, plastering materials or other mineral products in powder or paste form; machines for forming foundry moulds of sand).
