Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If plaited or braided construction
Heading 5607 distinguishes plaited/braided (5607.49.10-15) from simple twisted or laid cordage in 5607.49.30.
If imported as high-tenacity polypropylene yarn, not yet twisted into cordage
If still in yarn form without cordage assembly, it remains under Chapter 54 for synthetic filament yarns.
If of man-made fibers other than polyethylene or polypropylene, like polyester
Material-specific subheadings in 5607 route polyester cordage to 5607.50 instead of 5607.49.
