5607.49.10.00 - Of wide nonfibrillated strip 🖩

This HTS category, 5607.49.10.00, specifically covers twine, cordage, ropes, and cables manufactured from polyethylene or polypropylene that are constructed using wide, nonfibrillated strips. The "nonfibrillated" aspect is crucial, indicating that the plastic material has not been processed into fine filaments or fibers before being formed into the strip used for the final product. This implies a more robust construction, often resembling flattened or ribbon-like strands twisted or braided together.

Within the broader category of "Of polyethylene or polypropylene," this classification distinguishes itself from other "Other" subcategories. Specifically, it differs from sibling categories that might cover braided or plaited constructions or other forms of nonfibrillated strip products not meeting the precise criteria outlined here. The defining characteristic is the singular use of wide, nonfibrillated strips as the primary construction material, differentiating it from products made from fibrillated strips, yarns, or other forms of plastic extrusion.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 5607.49.10.00 is determined by the presence of polyethylene or polypropylene as the primary material, the construction using wide, nonfibrillated strips, and the absence of specific braiding or plaiting, unless such construction is inherent in the formation of the wide strip itself. This designation is for finished products like ropes or twine, not the raw materials from which they are made.
