Importers of Unreinforced Vulcanized Unhardened Rubber Tubes, Pipes & Hoses Without Fittings paid $1.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $9.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Unreinforced Vulcanized Unhardened Rubber Tubes, Pipes & Hoses Without Fittings imports of $13.6M in April 2026 ran 11% above the year-to-date monthly average of $12.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPlain-wall rubber hose — vulcanized but not reinforced with textile braid, wire, or other embedded materials, and supplied without end fittings — occupies a narrowly defined classification that separates it from the far larger market for reinforced hydraulic and industrial hose. The absence of reinforcement limits pressure ratings, making these tubes most common in low-pressure fluid transfer, laboratory tubing, and peristaltic pump applications. Compound selection (natural rubber, silicone, EPDM, or neoprene) is the primary performance variable, and importers should confirm that no textile or metal reinforcement is present, as even a single braid layer shifts classification to a reinforced hose heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Reinforcement refers to embedded or wrapped layers of textile yarn, cord, braid, or metal wire within the hose wall that increase burst pressure and structural integrity. If any such layer is present — even a single textile braid — the product classifies as reinforced hose under a separate heading. Importers should request cross-section documentation or manufacturer specifications to confirm the absence of reinforcement.
Yes — this heading specifically covers hose supplied without fittings. Hose assembled with end connectors, couplings, or adapters may classify as a hose assembly under a different heading, which can carry a different duty rate. If fittings are attached at origin or added before importation, the classification should be reassessed accordingly.
