Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the hose is not specifically designed or certified for fire-fighting use.
Tariff item 5909.00.90 covers other textile hosepiping, which may apply if the fire hose designation is not substantiated.
If the PVC lining is so thick that the textile fabric is completely embedded or covered, making it a plastic product.
Chapter 39 covers plastic tubes and hoses, and Chapter Note 2(3) of Chapter 59 excludes products where the textile is entirely embedded in plastics.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the PVC lining is visible and the textile fabric is not completely embedded, to avoid reclassification under Chapter 39
• Keep records of the hose's construction materials and proportions for customs inspection
• Ensure the product is not considered 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which could affect classification
