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, including twine, cordage, ropes, and cables. These items are essential components in various industries, from construction and maritime operations to agriculture and packaging. The global market for these products is driven by factors such as infrastructure development, growth in the shipping and logistics sectors, and increasing demand for durable and reliable tying and lifting solutions.

Production process

The production of items under HS code 5607 typically involves a multi-step process. Raw materials, such as natural fibers (e.g., sisal, hemp, jute) or synthetic fibers (e.g., polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon), are first spun into yarns. These yarns are then twisted, braided, or plaited to create the desired twine, cordage, ropes, or cables. Depending on the intended use, the products may be further treated with coatings, impregnations, or sheathing materials to enhance their durability, weather resistance, or other properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of items under HS code 5607 include raw fiber materials, such as 5301 Flax, 5302 True hemp, 5303 Jute and other textile bast fibers, and various synthetic fibers. Additionally, manufacturers may utilize specialized machinery, such as spinning, twisting, and braiding equipment, as well as chemicals and coatings for post-processing treatments.

Production outputs

The products covered by HS code 5607 are widely used in a variety of industries. Twine, cordage, ropes, and cables find applications in 5608 Knotted netting of twine, cordage or rope; made-up fishing nets and other made-up nets, of textile materials, 8425 Pulley tackle and hoists; winches and capstans; jacks, 8426 Ships' derricks; cranes, including cable cranes; mobile lifting frames, straddle carriers and works trucks fitted with a crane, and 9506 (Articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports (including table-tennis) or outdoor games, not specified or included elsewhere in this Chapter; swimming pools and paddling pools), among others.
