Heading 5910

Transmission or conveyor belts or belting, of textile material, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics, or reinforced with metal or other material

7 declarable lines

Heading 5910 covers textile transmission belts and conveyor belts or belting, including goods impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or reinforced with metal or other material. The heading first splits by whether the goods are of man-made fibers or other textile materials, then by power transmission belts and belting versus other articles and by belt or belting type.

How to choose the right subheading

Check the textile fiber content first: man-made fibers versus other textile materials.
For man-made fiber goods, decide whether the item is power transmission belting or another type of belt or belting.
For power transmission belts, identify whether the belt is a V-belt, a synchronous belt, or another belt type.
For belting rather than finished belts, identify whether it is link belting or other belting.
Confirm the article is a textile belt or belting, not rubber, plastic-only, tubing, or fabric in the piece.
