Import Tips

Verify reinforcement is solely textile (no metal or wire) via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification to 4009.31 or 4009.41

Include detailed fitting descriptions and material certifications in entry docs to confirm 'with fittings' status

Check for pressure ratings; hoses over certain specs may trigger additional safety regulations under DOT or EPA
