Gates PowerGrip GT2 Synchronous Belt

This synchronous belt from Gates features GT2 trapezoidal teeth made entirely of durable polyurethane with fiberglass tensile cords, designed for precise power transmission in machinery. It falls under HTS 3926.90.60.10 as a plastic belting specifically classified as a synchronous belt for machinery applications. The belt ensures zero slippage and high efficiency in timing-critical systems.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3926.90.99Lower: 25.3% vs 41.7%

If lacking synchronous tooth profile

Non-synchronous plastic belting falls under general 'other' plastic articles, as it doesn't meet specific synchronous criteria.

4010Lower: 15.8% vs 41.7%

If primarily rubber with plastic facing

Rubber belts with minimal plastic components shift to Chapter 40; predominant material by weight determines heading.

8483.50.60Higher: 52.8% vs 41.7%

If imported as complete pulley-belt assembly set

Sets of transmission components are classified in 8483 if presented together for machinery use, not as individual belts.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify belt dimensions and tooth profile match synchronous specs to avoid reclassification as V-belts under 3926.90.60.50

• Include material test reports confirming polyurethane construction and predominant monomer content per Chapter 39 notes

• Ensure FDA compliance if used in food machinery; common pitfall is missing tensile cord material declarations
