About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification, HTS 5607.49.15.00, specifically pertains to twine, cordage, ropes, and cables manufactured from polyethylene or polypropylene, which are not braided or plaited, and crucially, measure less than 4.8 mm in diameter. These items are typically used for lighter-duty applications where flexibility and a smaller profile are advantageous. Examples include various types of non-braided string, agricultural twines, and lightweight utility cords.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 5607.49.25.00, also designated as "Other" under the non-braided or plaited polyethylene or polypropylene subheading. The key differentiator lies in the diameter: 5607.49.15.00 exclusively covers items with a diameter below 4.8 mm, while 5607.49.25.00 would encompass similar non-braided or plaited polyethylene or polypropylene products that meet or exceed this diameter threshold.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 5607.49.15.00. Classification at this level is determined by the material composition (polyethylene or polypropylene), the construction (not braided or plaited), and the precise diameter measurement. Careful attention to the 4.8 mm threshold is essential for accurate classification.
