U.S. imports of metal-reinforced vulcanized rubber tubes, pipes & hoses with fittings (HS 400922) totaled $11.7M in April 2026, traded with 59 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMetal-reinforced rubber hose assemblies with attached fittings are finished hydraulic and industrial fluid-power components, and the US schedule divides them between automotive brake hose applications (4009220020, covering vehicles under HTS 8701.2, 8702–8705, and 8711) and all other metal-reinforced fitted hose (4009220050). Automotive brake hoses in this category must satisfy FMVSS No. 106 requirements regardless of whether the reinforcement is wire braid or spiral steel. The NESOI line captures hydraulic hose assemblies used in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial presses — products where the fitting crimp specification and pressure rating are as commercially significant as the rubber compound. Section 301 tariffs may apply to imports from certain origins, making origin documentation especially important for high-value hydraulic hose assemblies.

The automotive brake hose line is limited to vehicles specifically classified under HTS headings 8701.2, 8702–8705, and 8711 (tractors of that subheading, motor vehicles, motorcycles). Off-road construction or agricultural equipment classified elsewhere — such as under 8429 or 8430 — would not qualify for the automotive brake hose line, and the hose assembly would fall under 4009220050 as NESOI.
CBP generally classifies rubber hose assemblies under Chapter 40 when they are not dedicated parts of a specific machine presented together with that machine. If the hose assembly is imported separately and is of a general type used across multiple equipment categories, Chapter 40 classification under 400922 is appropriate. Dedicated, purpose-built hose assemblies imported as part of a machine's spare-parts kit may be classifiable as parts of that machine; a binding ruling resolves ambiguous cases.
