U.S. imports of textile-reinforced vulcanized rubber tubes, pipes & hoses with fittings (HS 400932) totaled $65.9M in April 2026, traded with 52 countries.
Importers of Textile-Reinforced Vulcanized Rubber Tubes, Pipes & Hoses With Fittings paid $3.7M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $29.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Textile-Reinforced Vulcanized Rubber Tubes, Pipes & Hoses With Fittings imports of $65.9M in April 2026 ran 10% above the year-to-date monthly average of $59.8M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataTextile-reinforced rubber hose assemblies with attached fittings are split at the US 10-digit level between automotive brake hoses for vehicles under HTS 8701.2, 8702–8705, and 8711 (4009320020) and all other textile-reinforced fitted hose (4009320050). Brake hoses in this category — typically fabric-braided flexible lines connecting rigid brake lines to wheel cylinders — must comply with FMVSS No. 106 and are subject to NHTSA oversight. The NESOI line covers a wide range of finished hose assemblies used in pneumatic tools, compressors, spray equipment, and light hydraulic circuits where textile braid provides adequate pressure resistance. Importers should confirm that the reinforcement is exclusively textile; any metal wire in the construction shifts classification to the metal-reinforced heading 400922.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A hose combining both textile and metal reinforcing elements is not 'reinforced only with textile materials' and therefore does not belong under 400932. It would fall under heading 400942, which covers hoses reinforced or combined with other materials (NESOI). Accurate construction documentation — cross-sectional diagrams and material specifications — is essential to support the correct classification.
Automotive brake hoses classified under 4009320020 carry FMVSS No. 106 compliance obligations enforced by NHTSA, requiring the importer or manufacturer to certify conformance. General-purpose hose assemblies under 4009320050 have no equivalent mandatory federal safety standard at the federal import level, though industry standards (SAE, ISO) may be contractually required by buyers. The duty treatment may also differ between the two lines.
