Last updated: April 2026 dataTextile-covered rubber thread and cord — an elastic core of vulcanized rubber wrapped in a textile sheath — is a foundational input for waistbands, swimwear, hosiery, medical compression garments, and elastic trimmings. The entire heading resolves to a single US tariff line (5604100000), simplifying classification but placing full emphasis on accurate country-of-origin determination. China and Vietnam are the leading suppliers, with Germany also a source of specialty grades. Goods of Chinese origin may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation and first-sale valuation strategies particularly relevant for high-volume apparel importers.

Heading 5604 specifically requires a textile covering — typically a wound or braided yarn sheath — over the rubber core. Bare rubber thread without textile covering falls under Chapter 40 (rubber), while elastomeric synthetic filament yarn (such as spandex/Lycra) without a rubber core is classified under Chapter 54. The presence of a vulcanized rubber core with a textile wrap is the key determinant for heading 5604.
Given that both China and Vietnam are major suppliers and that Chinese-origin goods may carry Section 301 exposure, importers should obtain detailed manufacturer certifications confirming the country where the rubber core is extruded and the textile covering is applied. Transshipment risk is elevated in this product category, and CBP may request production records to verify origin claims.
