Importers of Textile-Reinforced Vulcanized Rubber Tubes, Pipes & Hoses Without Fittings paid $3.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $26.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.

Last updated: April 2026 dataTextile-reinforced rubber hose — where woven, braided, or knitted fabric is embedded in or wrapped around the rubber wall — without end fittings covers a broad range of garden, agricultural irrigation, air, and light hydraulic hose supplied in bulk lengths. The textile reinforcement layer (typically polyester, nylon, or rayon braid) provides burst-pressure resistance at lower cost than wire braid, making this construction dominant in consumer and light-commercial hose markets. The single US tariff line 4009310000 covers all such hose regardless of textile fiber type or number of braid layers, so the classification decision turns on confirming that the reinforcement is exclusively textile and that no fittings are attached. Section 301 tariffs may apply to imports from certain origins, and the high import volume in this category makes origin and valuation documentation a routine CBP focus.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. The heading covers hose reinforced with any textile material, regardless of fiber type. The classification distinction is between textile reinforcement (400931), metal reinforcement (400921), and other materials (400941), not between specific textile fiber types.
If the nozzle or connector is permanently attached to the hose at the time of importation, CBP would generally classify it as hose with fittings under 400932. If the nozzle is packaged separately and not crimped or threaded onto the hose, the hose itself may still qualify under 400931. Retail sets combining hose and accessories may also be assessed as sets under GRI 3, so importers should review the specific packaging configuration with a customs broker.
