5607.90.25.00 - Of stranded construction measuring 1.88 cm or over in diameter

This HTS category, 5607.90.25.00, specifically covers twine, cordage, ropes, and cables that are of stranded construction and have a diameter measuring 1.88 centimeters or more. These products are typically made from hard (leaf) fibers, such as abaca (also known as Manila hemp). The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the substantial diameter of the stranded product, indicating a robust and heavy-duty application, such as in maritime, agricultural, or industrial settings.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 5607.90.35.00, which is designated as "Other." While both fall under the broader "Other" classification for twine, cordage, ropes, and cables not specifically enumerated, 5607.90.25.00 carves out a specific niche based on the material (hard leaf fibers) and the significant diameter requirement. The sibling category would encompass other types of twine, cordage, ropes, and cables made from different materials or with different constructions that do not meet the specific diameter criteria of this node.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading is determined by meeting the stringent criteria of being of stranded construction, made from hard leaf fibers (including abaca), and possessing a diameter of 1.88 centimeters or greater. Any product falling outside of these specific parameters, even if it is a rope or cordage, would need to be classified under a different, more appropriate HTS code.
