About rubber; vulcanised, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (v-belts), other than v-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 60cm but not exceeding 180 cm

HS code 401032 covers the classification of vulcanized rubber transmission belts, specifically those of a trapezoidal cross-section (V-belts) that are endless and have an outside circumference exceeding 60 cm but not exceeding 180 cm. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader manufacturing and transportation sectors, providing essential components for machinery, vehicles, and industrial equipment.

Production process

The production of vulcanized rubber V-belts involves several key steps. First, the raw rubber material is compounded with various additives, such as reinforcing fillers and vulcanizing agents. The compound is then extruded or calendered into the desired trapezoidal shape. The endless belt is formed by joining the ends of the extruded or calendered material. Finally, the belt undergoes a vulcanization process, where heat and pressure are applied to crosslink the rubber molecules, resulting in a durable and flexible product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 401032 products include natural and synthetic rubber, as well as various chemical additives such as carbon black, silica, and vulcanizing agents. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and vulcanization presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the equipment and ensure consistent product quality.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 401032 is vulcanized rubber V-belts, which are used in a wide range of applications, including 842810 Lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery, 842890 Machinery for lifting, handling, loading or unloading, n.e.c. in 84.28, and 840731 Spark-ignition reciprocating piston engines for vehicles of chapter 87, of a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cc. These belts are crucial components in the transmission systems of various industrial and automotive equipment, enabling the efficient transfer of power and motion.
