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
