Last updated: August 2026 dataFlexible hose and tubing whose structural integrity depends on a textile substrate — whether of vegetable fibers (5909001000) or other materials (5909002000) — serves fluid-transfer applications in agriculture, firefighting, and industrial processing. The textile construction distinguishes these products from rubber hose (Chapter 40) or plastics tubing (Chapter 39); the presence of lining, armor, or fittings does not change the classification as long as the textile component provides the essential character. Fiber content drives the US 10-digit line selection, making accurate material identification a prerequisite for correct entry.

Classification turns on which material provides the essential character. If the textile substrate is the structural element that gives the hose its strength and shape — with rubber or plastics serving only as a lining or coating — Chapter 59 applies. If the rubber or plastics wall is the primary structural component and the textile is merely reinforcement embedded within it, Chapters 40 or 39 are more likely correct. A cross-section analysis and material weight breakdown are typically needed to resolve borderline cases.
No. Heading 5909 explicitly covers textile hosepiping 'with or without lining, armor or accessories of other materials,' so the presence of metal end fittings, couplings, or protective armor does not displace the Chapter 59 classification, provided the textile construction remains the essential character of the article.
