Last updated: April 2026 dataNatural-fiber knotted netting and made-up nets—including cotton hammocks (5608902300), cotton knotted netting (5608902700), and fishing nets of non-synthetic textile materials (5608901000)—are grouped here, covering a diverse range of artisanal, recreational, and commercial products. China leads US imports, with Mexico a significant supplier particularly for cotton hammocks, which have their own dedicated tariff line reflecting the volume of that trade. The heading's breadth means classification requires identifying both the fiber type (cotton, jute, abaca, etc.) and the article type (fishing net, hammock, or other netting), as different combinations map to different 10-digit lines.

Cotton hammocks made from knotted netting of twine or cordage are specifically classified under 5608902300 within Chapter 56, not as furnishing articles under Chapter 94. The knotted-netting construction is the determining factor; hammocks made from woven or knitted fabric rather than knotted netting would be classified differently. Importers should confirm the construction method with the manufacturer.
Natural-fiber fishing nets (cotton, jute, abaca, etc.) fall under 5608901000 within heading 5608.90, while manmade-fiber fishing nets are classified under 5608.11. The fiber composition—confirmed by a mill certificate or fiber test—is the controlling factor. In practice, most commercial fishing nets today are synthetic, so natural-fiber fishing nets are a relatively specialized import category.
