HS-4 · Heading

5607 — Twine, cordage, ropes and cables, whether or not plaited or braided; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics

Chapter 56: Wadding, felt and nonwovens

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 5607 when importing twine, cordage, ropes, or cables, whether they are plaited or braided. For example, if you're shipping a roll of sisal twine used for gardening, this heading applies. It covers products made from natural and synthetic fibers, including those coated or sheathed with rubber or plastics.

When deciding between HS-6 lines, consider the material composition. For instance, 560721 is specific to binder or baler twine made from sisal or agave fibers, while 560729 covers other types of twine and ropes made from the same fibers, excluding baler twine. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification.

If your product uses polyethylene or polypropylene, you’ll need to choose between 560741 for binder twine and 560749 for other cordage. Both categories include products that may be plaited or coated, but only 560741 is for baler twine specifically. Understanding these nuances helps ensure compliance with customs regulations.
