Endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross section (V-belts), V-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 180 cm but not exceeding 240 cm: other

Analysis

HTS 4010.33.60 covers endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross section (V-belts), V-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 180 cm but not exceeding 240 cm: other under heading 4010 (conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanized rubber).

Within this group the rate runs from 1.9% to 8%. Compared with 4010.39.41 (of a width exceeding 20 cm), which pays 8%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 5.2 percentage points.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.8%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.

The general duty rate is 2.8% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 40 (56th percentile of 142 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $280 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 25%, 8.9 times the general rate.
