About HS Code 590900
This HS code covers textile hosepiping and similar textile tubing, which may or may not include linings, armor, or accessories made of other materials. The defining characteristic is the primary textile composition, making these hoses flexible yet robust for conveying liquids or gases. They are widely used in various industrial, agricultural, and emergency applications where durability, flexibility, and pressure resistance are crucial. Importers include fire departments, agricultural equipment suppliers, construction companies, and industrial manufacturers. Exporters are specialized textile and industrial product manufacturers who engineer these hoses for specific performance requirements, often incorporating synthetic fibers for strength and longevity. The textile core distinguishes them from purely plastic or rubber hoses.
Products Under This Code
Fire hoses, irrigation hoses, industrial water hoses, flexible air ducts, textile-reinforced hydraulic hoses, canvas water delivery hoses, lay-flat textile hoses
Real World Examples
Angus Fire Hoses, Mandals Hoses, Goodyear Textile Hoses, Parker Textile-Reinforced Hoses, Gates Industrial Hoses
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with plastic hoses (3917) or rubber hoses (4009) if the textile component is not clearly the primary structural element, or with other textile tubes (e.g., 630790) if not specifically for conveying fluids.
Products Classified Under 5909.00
Industry
This code belongs to the Textiles & Clothing industry.
Trade Overview
Countries with large agricultural, industrial, or emergency services sectors are major importers; manufacturers in China, Europe, and North America are significant exporters.
