HS v2017 Code: 560741

About twine; binder or baler twine, of polyethylene or polypropylene

HS code 560741 covers the production of twine, binder, or baler twine made from polyethylene or polypropylene. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural and logistics sectors, providing essential materials for securing and transporting various goods. The demand for these products is closely tied to the performance and growth of industries such as 010000 Agriculture, forestry and fishing and 490000 Transportation and storage, making it an important component of the global supply chain.

Production process

The production of twine, binder, or baler twine under HS code 560741 typically involves extruding and twisting polyethylene or polypropylene fibers. The raw materials are first melted and then forced through a die to create continuous filaments. These filaments are then twisted together to form the desired twine or rope-like structure, which is subsequently wound onto spools or reels for packaging and distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 560741 products include polyethylene and polypropylene resins, which serve as the primary raw materials. Additionally, specialized extrusion and twisting machinery, as well as energy sources to power the manufacturing process, are essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 560741 are twine, binder, and baler twine made from polyethylene or polypropylene. These products are widely used in various industries, such as 010000 Agriculture, forestry and fishing, where they are employed for tasks like baling hay, securing loads, and tying up crops. The output of this industry may also be consumed by other industries, such as 490000 Transportation and storage, where the twine is used for securing and bundling cargo.
