U.S. imports of rubber hoses reinforced with other materials, without fittings (HS 400941) totaled $15.4M in April 2026, traded with 39 countries.
Importers of Rubber Hoses Reinforced with Other Materials, Without Fittings paid $1.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $9.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataVulcanized rubber hose reinforced or combined with materials other than metal or textile alone — such as aramid fiber, fiberglass, or composite constructions — and supplied without fittings falls under this residual heading. The 'NESOI' designation signals that this heading captures constructions not specifically addressed by the metal-only (400921) or textile-only (400931) headings, making it the correct classification for advanced composite-reinforced hose used in specialty chemical, aerospace ground support, and high-temperature fluid transfer applications. The single US tariff line 4009410000 covers all such hose regardless of the specific reinforcing material, provided no fittings are attached. Because composite-reinforced hose often commands a premium price, accurate valuation and detailed material specifications in the entry package are important for CBP review.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A hose reinforced with a combination of textile fibers — including high-performance fibers like aramid — where the reinforcement layer is entirely fibrous/textile in nature would likely still fall under the textile-reinforced headings (400931 or 400932). Heading 400941 is intended for reinforcement with non-textile, non-metal materials or combinations that take the product outside the textile-only and metal-only categories. The specific construction and CBP's interpretation of the dominant reinforcing material determine the correct heading; a binding ruling is advisable for novel composites.
Fiberglass is generally not considered a textile material for HTS Chapter 40 classification purposes — textile materials in this context refer to organic fiber-based woven, braided, or knitted structures. Fiberglass-reinforced rubber hose would therefore fall under the 'other materials' category, placing it under 400941 (without fittings) or 400942 (with fittings), not under the textile-reinforced headings.
