5609.00.40.00 - Other 🖩

HTS code 5609.00.40.00 encompasses articles made from yarn, strip, twine, cordage, rope, or cables that are not elsewhere specified or included within Chapter 56. This broad category serves as a residual for items formed from these textile components when they do not fit into more specific material-based subcategories.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by the absence of specific material composition. For instance, 5609.00.10.00 is exclusively for articles of cotton, while 5609.00.20.00 covers those made from vegetable fibers other than cotton. Similarly, 5609.00.30.00 is designated for articles of man-made fibers. Therefore, 5609.00.40.00 applies to articles made from mixed fibers, or materials not covered by the preceding classifications, provided they meet the general criteria of being manufactured from yarn, strip, twine, cordage, rope, or cables.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Classification within 5609.00.40.00 relies on a process of elimination, ensuring that the article in question is indeed constructed from the specified textile elements and does not fall under any more specific heading or subheading within the HTS. Examples might include certain types of specialized netting, bindings, or fabricated items from composite yarn structures whose primary fiber content does not align with the cotton, vegetable, or man-made fiber categories.
