U.S. imports of plastic fittings for tubes, pipes & hoses (HS 391740) totaled $59.7M in June 2026, traded with 73 countries.
Importers of Plastic Fittings for Tubes, Pipes & Hoses paid $7.7M in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $43.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Plastic pipe fittings — couplings, elbows, tees, adapters, and similar connectors — are widely traded components for plumbing, automotive brake systems, and industrial fluid networks, with the US schedule subdividing them across eight 10-digit lines by application and resin type. Dedicated lines cover vehicle brake-hose fittings (3917400010), non-pressure-rated plumbing fittings in PVC (3917400020), ABS (3917400030), and other plastics (3917400050), pressure-rated plumbing fittings in PVC (3917400060) and other materials (3917400080), and a general residual line (3917400095). Canada and Mexico lead US supply, with China also a major source where Section 301 tariffs may apply. The breadth of end-use applications — from residential plumbing to automotive safety systems — means that product-specific standards (ASTM, SAE, NSF) often govern admissibility at the project or OEM level even after customs clearance.

The US schedule provides a dedicated 10-digit line (3917400010) for fittings for vehicle brake hoses, which takes precedence over the general plumbing-fitting lines. Importers should retain technical documentation from the manufacturer confirming the fitting's intended use in brake-hose assemblies. Misclassifying brake-hose fittings as general plumbing fittings can result in underpayment of duties if the applicable rates differ.
Non-pressure-rated plumbing fittings (lines 3917400020, 3917400030, 3917400050) are designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications where the pipe operates at or near atmospheric pressure. Pressure-rated fittings (lines 3917400060 and 3917400080) are engineered to withstand internal fluid pressure and are used in supply-side plumbing. The distinction is typically established by the applicable ASTM standard marked on the fitting — for example, ASTM D2665 for DWV versus ASTM D2466 for pressure service — and should be documented at entry.
