U.S. imports of high-pressure flexible plastic tubes, pipes & hoses (min. 27.6 mpa burst pressure) (SITC 58130) totaled $9.9M in April 2026, traded with 45 countries.
Importers of High-Pressure Flexible Plastic Tubes, Pipes & Hoses (Min. 27.6 MPa Burst Pressure) paid $1.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $8.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. High-Pressure Flexible Plastic Tubes, Pipes & Hoses (Min. 27.6 MPa Burst Pressure) imports of $9.9M in April 2026 ran 30% below the year-to-date monthly average of $14.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataThe 27.6 MPa (4,000 psi) minimum burst-pressure threshold is the defining classification criterion here, separating hydraulic and high-pressure industrial hose assemblies from general-purpose flexible tubing. These products serve hydraulic systems in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial presses, where pressure integrity and fatigue resistance are safety-critical. Reinforcement construction — typically braided or spiral-wound textile or wire — is what enables the burst-pressure rating, and buyers should request test certifications confirming compliance with SAE or ISO hydraulic hose standards.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The manufacturer should provide a test report or certificate of conformance showing burst-pressure testing results per a recognized standard such as SAE J517 or ISO 1436. Customs may request this documentation to verify classification, particularly when the hose construction is ambiguous. If the product does not meet the threshold, it would be classified under the NES or unreinforced flexible hose headings instead.
Hoses rated to 27.6 MPa or above typically use multiple layers of braided or spiral-wound high-tensile steel wire or synthetic fiber embedded in the plastic tube wall. Single-braid constructions generally reach lower pressure ratings, while four- or six-spiral wire constructions are common in the highest-pressure hydraulic applications. The reinforcement type and layer count are key specification points that buyers should confirm against the intended hydraulic system's operating pressure.
