Import Tips
• Certify hose burst pressure and abrasive compatibility in documentation; failure risks reclassification to general rubber hose under 4009
• Pair with blasting machine photos or diagrams in entry docs to prove dedicated use
• Avoid bulk shipments without end-use statements, as CBP may default to lower-duty flexible tubing categories
