5607.41 - Binder or baler twine:

This HTS category, 5607.41, specifically covers binder or baler twine manufactured from polyethylene or polypropylene. These are typically thicker, more robust forms of twine designed for agricultural use, such as bundling hay, straw, or other crops in mechanical balers or for tying. The key defining characteristic is their primary function as binding material in agricultural machinery.

Distinguished from its sibling category 5607.49, which encompasses "Other" twines of polyethylene or polypropylene, this classification is restricted to those specifically intended for binder or baler applications. While 5607.49 would cover general-purpose twines made from these materials for other uses (e.g., general tying, packaging), 5607.41 is precisely for the agricultural binding function.

Within this category, further distinctions are made to refine classification. Subcategory 5607.41.10.00 applies to twine manufactured from wide, non-fibrillated strips of polyethylene or polypropylene, often characterized by a flat, ribbon-like structure. Subcategory 5607.41.30.00 captures all other binder or baler twine made from these polymers, which would include twines constructed from spun or fibrillated fibers.
