About twine, cordage, ropes, cables; of sisal or other textile fibres of the genus agave (excluding binder or baler twine), whether or not plaited, braided or rubber or plastic impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed

HS code 560729 covers a diverse range of twine, cordage, ropes, and cables made from sisal or other textile fibers of the agave genus. These products are essential for a wide variety of industries, from construction and shipping to agriculture and outdoor recreation. The global market for these products is substantial, driven by the growing demand for durable, versatile, and environmentally-friendly materials.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 560729 typically involves several key steps. First, the raw fibers, such as sisal or other agave-based materials, are harvested and processed to remove impurities and prepare them for spinning. The fibers are then spun into yarns, which are subsequently twisted or braided to create the desired twine, cordage, or rope. Depending on the intended use, these products may be further treated with coatings, impregnations, or other finishing processes to enhance their durability, weather resistance, or other properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 560729 include the raw textile fibers, such as 530500 sisal and other textile fibers of the genus Agave, as well as machinery for fiber processing, spinning, and braiding or twisting. Additional inputs may include coatings, dyes, or other chemicals used in the finishing process, as well as energy sources and labor.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 560729 are twine, cordage, ropes, and cables made from sisal or other agave-based fibers. These products are widely used in a variety of applications, including 560721 binder or baler twine, 560741 twine, cordage, ropes and cables of sisal or other textile fibres of the genus Agave, and 560749 twine, cordage, ropes and cables of other textile materials. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by industries such as construction, shipping, agriculture, and outdoor recreation.
