5607.41.10.00 - Of wide nonfibrillated strip

This HTS category, 5607.41.10.00, specifically covers twine, cordage, ropes, and cables manufactured from polyethylene or polypropylene that are intended for use as binder or baler twine. The defining characteristic of this classification is that the material is formed from wide, nonfibrillated strips. This means the polyethylene or polypropylene has been processed into flat, continuous strips rather than being broken down into individual fibers before being twisted or braided. This manufacturing method results in a distinct physical form and often a smoother, more uniform surface compared to twine made from fibrillated materials.

When classifying twine and cordage within subheading 5607.41, it is crucial to distinguish between the various forms of polyethylene and polypropylene materials. While sibling category 5607.41.30.00, also under binder or baler twine, covers "Other" types, this specific classification (5607.41.10.00) isolates those made from wide, nonfibrillated strips. This differentiation is based on the manufacturing process and the resulting physical form of the constituent material. Therefore, twine made from a different form of polyethylene or polypropylene, such as that processed from staple fibers or monofilaments, would fall under the "Other" category.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this level, identifying specific binder or baler twine based on its construction from wide, nonfibrillated strips of polyethylene or polypropylene. Practical classification will rely on verifying the material composition (polyethylene or polypropylene) and the method of processing the raw material into the final twine product, specifically identifying the use of wide, nonfibrillated strips.
