About HS Code 400922
This HS code specifically covers vulcanized rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are reinforced or combined solely with metal, and crucially, supplied with fittings attached. These are complete, ready-to-install assemblies designed for immediate integration into hydraulic, pneumatic, or fluid transfer systems. Their robust construction, combining flexible rubber with metal reinforcement and secure fittings, makes them indispensable in heavy machinery, automotive systems, construction equipment, and industrial plants. Major players in international trade include specialized hose assembly manufacturers, automotive OEMs, and industrial equipment suppliers. Key trade considerations include the type of fittings (e.g., crimped, reusable), pressure ratings, compatibility with specific fluids, and adherence to international standards for performance and safety, ensuring reliable operation in critical applications.
Products Under This Code
Hydraulic hose assembly (metal reinforced, with fittings), industrial rubber hose assembly (metal reinforced), automotive power steering hose (metal reinforced, with fittings), high-pressure fuel line assembly, brake hose assembly (metal reinforced), air conditioning hose assembly, turbocharger hose assembly
Real World Examples
Gates (hydraulic hose assemblies), Parker Hannifin (industrial hose assemblies), Eaton (fluid conveyance solutions), Continental (automotive hose assemblies), Danfoss Power Solutions
Common Misclassification
Frequently confused with 400921 (same products *without* fittings) if the presence of fittings is overlooked. Also, 400912 (not reinforced or combined with other materials, with fittings) if the metal reinforcement is missed.
Products Classified Under 4009.22
Industry
This code belongs to the Automotive & Vehicles industry.
Trade Overview
