5607.90.10.00 - Of coir

This HTS category, 5607.90.10.00, specifically classifies twine, cordage, ropes, and cables that are manufactured from coir. Coir is a natural fiber derived from the outer husk of a coconut. The products within this classification can be plaited or braided, and may also be impregnated, coated, covered, or sheathed with rubber or plastics. This ensures that the defining characteristic for classification under this code is the exclusive use of coir as the primary textile material.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its exclusive focus on coir. For instance, HTS 5607.90.15.00 covers similar cordage made from jute or other textile bast fibers of heading 5303. Another sibling category addresses products made from abaca or other hard leaf fibers. The remaining sibling, 5607.90.90.00, serves as a residual category for all other types of twine, cordage, ropes, and cables not otherwise specified, thus reinforcing the specificity of the coir classification.

As this HTS code is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level, with all articles meeting the material (coir) and product type (twine, cordage, ropes, or cables) criteria being placed here. The specific construction methods such as plaiting, braiding, or the application of rubber or plastic sheathing do not necessitate further subdivision, as these are considered variations within the defined product scope.
