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 packaging sectors, providing essential materials for various applications such as baling hay, securing cargo, and reinforcing structures. The demand for these products is closely tied to the performance and growth of the agricultural and logistics industries, making it an important component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of twine, binder, or baler twine under HS code 560741 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, polyethylene or polypropylene, are extruded into long, continuous filaments. These filaments are then twisted or braided together to form the desired twine or rope-like structure. The resulting product may undergo further processing, such as coating or treatment, to enhance its durability, strength, or other properties, depending on the intended application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 560741 include polyethylene or polypropylene resins, which serve as the primary raw materials. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, twisting or braiding equipment, and finishing or treatment systems, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 560741 is twine, binder, or baler twine made from polyethylene or polypropylene. These products are widely used in the agricultural sector, where they are employed for baling hay, securing crops, and various other applications. The output of this industry may also be consumed by other industries, such as 560749 Twine, cordage, ropes and cables, of other materials, 392010 Other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, non-cellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, and 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles.
