Tubes, pipes and hoses and fittings thereof (for example, joints, elbows, flanges), of plastics
In plain English
This section covers plastic tubes, pipes, hoses, and their associated fittings like joints and elbows. It also includes artificial casings made from hardened protein or cellulosic materials. The items are categorized by whether they are rigid or flexible, the specific type of plastic polymer used, and whether they are reinforced or include fittings.
6-digit subheadings (10)
Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.

Chapter 39 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Composite articles (e.g., plastic with textile lining) — classify by the material giving essential character. Silicone products are often misclassified here but belong in Chapter 39.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
