Product classification
HS code for Reinforced rubber hose with fittings: 4009.22
Rubber, vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined only with metal, with fittings.
Classification of reinforced rubber hose with fittings under HS 4009.22
HS code 4009.22 is designated for reinforced rubber hoses that are equipped with fittings. This classification follows the logic of Chapter 40, heading 4009, which covers tubes, pipes, and hoses of vulcanized rubber. The primary material must be vulcanized rubber (excluding hard rubber), and the reinforcement must be exclusively metal, such as steel wire or mesh. The defining characteristic of 4009.22 is the presence of "fittings." Under the HS nomenclature, fittings include a wide range of connectors such as joints, elbows, flanges, and couplings. These components must be attached to the hose in a manner that allows it to be integrated into a fluid or gas system immediately upon delivery. This often involves crimping or swaging the metal fittings onto the ends of the reinforced hose. This classification is essential for hydraulic assemblies where the hose and its connectors are traded as a single functional unit. The metal reinforcement provides the necessary strength for high-pressure environments, while the fittings ensure a secure connection to pumps, valves, or cylinders.

Codes often confused with 4009.22
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 4009.21, which is for the same type of metal-reinforced hose but without fittings. Another common error is 4009.42, which applies to hoses reinforced with materials other than metal (such as textiles or plastics) that also include fittings. It is vital to identify the specific reinforcement material to choose between the 4009 subheadings.
Top exporters and importers of HS 400922 (the code used for reinforced rubber hose with fittings), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 400922 (the code used for reinforced rubber hose with fittings) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 22% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 11% 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).

Questions about reinforced rubber hose with fittings
What is the HS code for Reinforced rubber hose with fittings?
The HS code for Reinforced rubber hose with fittings is 400922 (Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined only with metal, with fittings). The correct HS code for vulcanized rubber hose reinforced with metal and equipped with fittings is 4009.22.
How do I classify Reinforced rubber hose with fittings for customs?
Reinforced rubber hose with fittings is classified under HS code 400922 — Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), tubing, piping and hoses, reinforced or otherwise combined only with metal, with fittings. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
What defines a fitting in this classification?
A fitting is any component like a nut, bolt, flange, or coupling that is permanently or securely attached to the hose to facilitate connection.
Which countries are the top exporters of reinforced rubber hose with fittings (HS 400922)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 400922 (the code used for reinforced rubber hose with fittings) in UN Comtrade data were China ($315M, 22% of world exports), Germany ($197M) and Czechia ($114M). World exports came to about $1.4B, 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.
