U.S. imports of unhardened vulcanized rubber tubes, pipes & hoses with fittings (SITC 62145) totaled $106.3M in April 2026, traded with 70 countries.
Importers of Unhardened Vulcanized Rubber Tubes, Pipes & Hoses With Fittings paid $8.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $60.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataThe presence of fittings — flanges, couplings, nipples, or similar end connections — is the single defining feature that places rubber hose assemblies in this heading, regardless of whether the hose body is reinforced or unreinforced. Hose assemblies are a finished, higher-value product compared to bare hose, and they are commonly imported as maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) kits for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer systems. Trade professionals should confirm that fittings are permanently attached rather than merely packaged alongside the hose, as loose fittings may be classified separately.

Not automatically. Classification under 62145 generally requires that the fittings be permanently attached to the hose, forming an assembly. Fittings that are merely co-packaged but not attached may be classified separately from the hose. Importers should ensure that assembly status is clearly documented in technical specifications and invoices.
Under SITC 62145, all reinforcement types (metal, textile, other, or none) are consolidated into a single heading once fittings are present, so the reinforcement distinction that drives classification for bare hoses becomes secondary. However, at the HTS 10-digit level used for US customs entry, reinforcement type and end-use may still differentiate tariff lines, so importers should verify the applicable HTS subheading with a licensed customs broker.
