Last updated: September 2026 dataFlexible plastic tubing pre-assembled with fittings — such as garden hose sets, pneumatic tubing with push-to-connect ends, or medical-grade tubing with luer connectors — is classified here when the tubing is not reinforced and does not meet the high-burst-pressure threshold. The inclusion of fittings as part of the product at import is the key distinction from the without-fittings heading, and customs may scrutinize whether fittings are integral to the product or merely packaged alongside it. Section 301 tariffs have applied to a range of plastic tubing and hose products from China, making origin verification a routine step in cost modeling for this category.

Many plastic tubing and hose products with fittings sourced from China have been subject to Section 301 tariffs. The applicability depends on the specific HTS classification of the product and the list under which it falls. Importers should confirm the current Section 301 status of their specific product with a licensed customs broker, as exclusions and modifications to the lists have occurred over time.
CBP generally considers fittings to be part of the tubing assembly when they are permanently attached, integral to the product's function, or presented together as a finished set for retail sale. Fittings that are loose in the same shipment but not attached may be classified separately. Importers should document the product's commercial presentation — including packaging and marketing materials — to support the intended classification.
