About twine, cordage, ropes and cables, whether or not plaited or braided; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics

HS code 5607 covers a diverse range of products that are essential for various industries, from construction and maritime to agriculture and logistics. These twines, cordages, ropes, and cables are fundamental in supporting global trade and economic activities, enabling the secure transportation and handling of goods worldwide. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing critical infrastructure and support for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 5607 typically involves a multi-step process. Raw materials, such as natural or synthetic fibers, are first spun into yarns. These yarns are then twisted, braided, or plaited together to form the desired twine, cordage, rope, or cable. Depending on the intended use, the products may be further treated, coated, or sheathed with materials like rubber or plastics to enhance their durability, weather resistance, or other properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 5607 include natural and synthetic fibers, such as 5303 Jute and other textile bast fibers, 5402 Synthetic filament yarn, and 5501 Synthetic staple fibers. Additionally, machinery for spinning, twisting, and braiding the fibers, as well as equipment for coating or sheathing the final products, are essential resources for this industry.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 5607 are diverse and find applications in a wide range of sectors. These products are used in 4015 (Articles of apparel and clothing accessories (including gloves, mittens and mitts), for all purposes, of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber), 4016 Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber, 5609 Articles of yarn, strip or the like of heading 5404 or 5405, twine, cordage, rope or cables, not elsewhere specified or included, and 8425 Pulley tackle and hoists other than skip hoists; winches and capstans; jacks, among others. The versatility of these products ensures their widespread use across various industries and supply chains.
