HS Code 4009.22 – Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined only with metal, with fittings
HS code 4009.22 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined only with metal, with fittings. It is used for 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 and brake hose assembly (metal reinforced).
What HS 4009.22 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 4009.22
Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
