5607.49.25.00 - Other (201) 🖩

This HTS category, 5607.49.25.00, encompasses twine, cordage, ropes, and cables made of polyethylene or polypropylene that are neither plaited nor braided. These articles are further categorized as "other" within the "other" subheadings, indicating they do not fall into more specific classifications based on diameter, braiding, or other defining characteristics not explicitly covered. The "Other (201)" description suggests a residual category for items that meet the broad definition of polyethylene or polypropylene twine, cordage, ropes, or cables but lack specific distinguishing features that would place them in a more defined sub-classification.

This specific classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 5607.49.15.00, by not meeting the diameter requirement of less than 4.8 mm. Therefore, while both fall under the broader umbrella of polyethylene or polypropylene twine, cordage, ropes, and cables, this entry is for articles that are either 4.8 mm or greater in diameter, or where diameter is not a primary distinguishing factor for classification. The emphasis remains on the material (polyethylene or polypropylene) and the absence of plaiting or braiding.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Its purpose is to capture all remaining non-plaited or braided polyethylene or polypropylene cordage, ropes, and cables that do not fit into other more specifically defined HTS classifications within this chapter. Classification under this heading should therefore be considered after all other potential, more granular categories have been evaluated.
