HS Code 4009.32 – Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined only with textile materials, with fittings
HS code 4009.32 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined only with textile materials, with fittings. It is used for assembled hydraulic hose lines, automotive coolant hose assemblies, air compressor hose with quick-connect fittings, industrial water hose assemblies and power steering hose assemblies.
What HS 4009.32 covers
This category covers vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses that are reinforced exclusively with textile materials and come equipped with fittings, making them ready for immediate installation. These pre-assembled hoses are vital for various sectors, including automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery, where they facilitate the transfer of fluids and gases. Importers range from automotive assembly plants and industrial equipment manufacturers to maintenance and repair operations seeking ready-to-use solutions. Exporters are typically specialized fabricators who combine bulk hose with appropriate fittings, often to specific customer requirements. Critical aspects for trade include the type and quality of fittings, pressure and temperature ratings of the assembled unit, and adherence to international safety and performance standards, ensuring reliability in demanding applications.

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).
