About twine, cordage, ropes, cables; of polyethylene or polypropylene (excluding binder or baler twine), whether or not plaited, braided or rubber or plastic impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed

HS code 560749 covers a diverse range of twine, cordage, ropes, and cables made from polyethylene or polypropylene. These products are essential components in various industries, from construction and shipping to agriculture and outdoor recreation. The global demand for these versatile materials continues to grow, driven by their durability, strength, and cost-effectiveness.

Production process

The production of HS 560749 items typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, are extruded into continuous filaments or yarns. These filaments are then twisted, braided, or plaited together to form the desired twine, cordage, rope, or cable. Depending on the specific application, the products may be further processed by impregnating, coating, covering, or sheathing them with rubber or plastic to enhance their properties.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS 560749 items are polyethylene and polypropylene resins, which serve as the raw materials. Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized machinery, such as extruders, twisting machines, and braiding equipment, to transform the raw materials into the final products. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production processes.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS 560749 include a wide range of twine, cordage, ropes, and cables made from polyethylene or polypropylene. These products find applications in various industries, including 560721 Binder or baler twine, 560741 Twine, cordage, ropes and cables of sisal or other textile fibres of the genus Agave, and 560790 (Twine, cordage, ropes and cables, whether or not plaited or braided and whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics (excluding of synthetic fibres)). The versatility of these materials ensures a steady demand across numerous sectors.
