HS Code 4009.41 – Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined with materials other than metal or textiles, without fittings
HS code 4009.41 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined with materials other than metal or textiles, without fittings. It is used for aramid-reinforced fuel hose, PTFE-lined rubber hose (bulk), silicone-reinforced high-temperature hose, chemical transfer hose (non-metal/textile reinforced) and high-pressure industrial hose (composite reinforced).
What HS 4009.41 covers
This HS code pertains to vulcanised rubber tubing, piping, and hoses reinforced with materials other than metal or textiles, and supplied without fittings. This category often includes advanced reinforcements like aramid fibers, fiberglass, or specialized synthetic polymers, designed for high-performance or niche applications where standard textile or metal reinforcement is insufficient. Industries such as chemical processing, aerospace, and high-tech manufacturing are primary users, requiring hoses with superior chemical resistance, extreme temperature tolerance, or specific dielectric properties. Importers are typically specialized industrial firms or distributors catering to these demanding sectors. Exporters are often manufacturers with advanced material science capabilities. Key trade considerations include the specific nature of the 'other' reinforcement, chemical compatibility, and compliance with stringent industry-specific certifications.

Codes often confused with 4009.41
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 400931 (textile-reinforced) or 400921 (metal-reinforced). The defining characteristic is reinforcement by materials explicitly 'other than metal or textiles'.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 400941, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 400941 in UN Comtrade data was Türkiye, with 17% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 19% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).

What are common misclassifications for HS code 400941?
This code can be confused with 400931 (textile-reinforced) or 400921 (metal-reinforced). The defining characteristic is reinforcement by materials explicitly 'other than metal or textiles'.
Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 400941?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 400941 in UN Comtrade data were Türkiye ($186M, 17% of world exports), the United States ($105M) and Morocco ($88M). World exports came to about $1.1B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Which countries are the top importers of goods under HS code 400941?
