U.S. imports of textile transmission and conveyor belts or belting (HS 591000) totaled $9.5M in April 2026, traded with 47 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPower transmission and conveyor belting built on a textile substrate — including V-belts (5910001010), synchronous belts (5910001020), and link belting (5910001060) of man-made fibers — is a critical input for manufacturing, mining, and logistics equipment. The US schedule is unusually granular for this heading, distinguishing belt type (V-belt, synchronous, link, general power transmission, conveyor) and fiber content (man-made versus other), which means importers must obtain precise technical specifications from the manufacturer before filing. Reinforcement with metal or coating with plastics does not remove a belt from this heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Importers should request from the manufacturer: (1) the belt type (V-belt, synchronous/timing belt, link belt, flat conveyor belt, or other); (2) the fiber composition of the textile carcass (man-made fibers versus other); and (3) whether the belt is designed for power transmission or material conveyance. These three data points map directly to the distinct 10-digit lines under 5910001010 through 5910009000.
Certain conveyor belting products have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders in the past, and the specific scope of any active orders depends on the belt type, fiber content, and country of origin. Importers should check the CBP ADD/CVD portal and USITC orders for current scope rulings before entry, as scope determinations for belting can be technically complex.
