5607.90.90.00 - Other (201) 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 5607.90.90.00, covers "Other" twine, cordage, ropes, and cables not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings within heading 5607. These are products, whether plaited or braided and whether or not impregnated, coated, covered, or sheathed with rubber or plastics, that do not fall into the categories of coir, jute or other textile bast fibers of heading 5303, or abaca and other hard (leaf) fibers. Essentially, this is a residual category for cordage and rope materials made from fibers other than those specified in the more granular subheadings.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it is important to identify the primary fiber content. For instance, cordage made predominantly from coir fibers would be classified under 5607.90.10.00, while that made from jute or other bast fibers such as ramie would fall under 5607.90.15.00. Similarly, any ropes or cords manufactured from abaca or other hard leaf fibers would be classified separately. This residual category, 5607.90.90.00, therefore applies to a wide array of other materials, including synthetic fibers (like nylon, polyester, or polypropylene), silk, or other vegetable fibers not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this subheading hinges on the exclusion from the more specific categories and the determination that the product is indeed twine, cordage, rope, or cable as defined by the broader heading 5607. Practical classification will rely on identifying the dominant fiber composition of the cordage and verifying it does not meet the criteria for the preceding, more detailed subheadings.
