U.S. imports of articles of yarn, strip, twine, cordage, rope or cable (nesoi) (HS 560900) totaled $13.4M in July 2026, traded with 65 countries.
Importers of Articles of Yarn, Strip, Twine, Cordage, Rope or Cable (NESOI) paid $3.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 24% on $12.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFinished articles made from yarn, strip, twine, cordage, rope, or cable that do not fall within any more specific heading are captured here—a residual category covering products such as rope ladders, decorative cord articles, and similar manufactured goods. The US schedule subdivides by fiber type: cotton (5609001000), vegetable fibers other than cotton (5609002000), manmade fibers (5609003000), and other textile materials (5609004000). China and Vietnam are the dominant suppliers, with India also a significant source. Because this is a residual heading, importers should first confirm that no more specific heading in Chapters 56–63 or elsewhere applies before classifying an article here.

Heading 5609 is explicitly residual—it applies only to articles of yarn, strip, twine, cordage, rope, or cable that are 'not elsewhere specified or included.' Before classifying here, importers should verify that the article does not fall under a more specific provision in Chapter 56 (e.g., made-up nets under 5608), Chapter 63 (other made-up textile articles), or another chapter. A licensed customs broker can assist with the GRI analysis when the classification is not clear-cut.
The four US tariff lines under 5609 are distinguished solely by fiber composition: cotton, vegetable fibers other than cotton, manmade fibers, and other textile materials. The duty rates differ across these lines, so accurate fiber identification—supported by a mill certificate or fiber composition test—is essential. An article of mixed fiber content would generally be classified by the predominant fiber by weight under the applicable textile classification rules.
