High-Pressure Nylon Fuel Line Hose from Japan
A flexible nylon-reinforced hose designed for automotive fuel delivery systems, capable of withstanding a minimum burst pressure of 27.6 MPa. It falls under HTS 3917.31.00.00 due to its flexible plastic construction and high-pressure rating, distinguishing it from lower-pressure hoses in other subheadings.

Import Tips
• Verify burst pressure certification through testing to confirm classification under 3917.31; lower pressure shifts to 3917.39
• Provide material composition docs showing predominant polymer (e.g
• polyamide >95%) per Chapter 39 notes
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as rigid tubing, which falls under 3917.29
