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 wide range of twine, cordage, ropes, and cables made from sisal or other textile fibers of the agave genus. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including agriculture, construction, shipping, and industrial applications, providing essential materials for a diverse range of products and activities. As a key component in the broader textile and fiber industry, the 560729 category contributes significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of items under HS code 560729 typically involves a multi-step process. Raw fibers, such as sisal or other agave-based textiles, are first harvested and processed to extract the necessary filaments. These filaments are then spun into yarns, which are subsequently twisted, braided, or plaited to create the desired twine, cordage, ropes, or cables. Depending on the intended application, the final products may be impregnated, coated, covered, or sheathed with rubber, plastic, or other materials to enhance their durability and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 560729 include the raw textile fibers, primarily sisal or other agave-based materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for fiber processing, yarn production, and the final twisting, braiding, or plaiting processes. Depending on the specific product, other inputs such as rubber, plastic, or coatings may also be necessary.

Production outputs

The outputs of the 560729 industry encompass a wide range of twine, cordage, ropes, and cables that find applications in various sectors. These products may be used in 530710 Binder or baler twine, 560741 Twine, cordage, ropes and cables of sisal or other textile fibres of the genus Agave, whether or not plaited or braided and whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics, and 560749 Twine, cordage, ropes and cables of other textile materials, whether or not plaited or braided and whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics, among others.
