5607.21.00.00 - Binder or baler twine

This HTS classification, 5607.21.00.00, specifically covers binder or baler twine. This category encompasses twine manufactured from sisal or other textile fibers derived from the Agave genus, which is primarily intended and used for mechanical binding and baling operations, such as in agriculture for hay or straw balers, or in industrial applications for bundling goods. The defining characteristic is its specific function in automated tying machinery.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5607.29.00.00 ("Other"), is crucial. While both are twine made from sisal or Agave fibers, 5607.21.00.00 is reserved for twine with a direct application in binder or baler machines. The "Other" category would include sisal or Agave twine used for general purposes, such as tying parcels, decorative applications, or other uses not specifically related to the mechanical binding of baled materials.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 5607.21.00.00 is therefore determined solely by the material (sisal or Agave fibers) and the intended end-use as binder or baler twine. Exporters and importers should ensure that the twine's primary function aligns with the operational requirements of binder or baler machinery to justify classification under this specific code.
