Analysis
Heading 5910 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers 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. It has 2 tariff lines.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.6% to 4% with a median of 3.3%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its lines are 5910.00.10 for of man-made fibers (4%) and 5910.00.90 for transmission or conveyor belts or belting, of textile… (2.6%).
Its median rate of 3.3% sits at the 60th percentile of the headings in chapter 59.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Narrow Fabric Mills and Schiffli Machine Embroidery (313220). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
