Last updated: July 2026 dataBinder and baler twine made from sisal or other Agave-genus fibers occupies a specialized niche in agricultural packaging, where its natural fiber composition and biodegradability are valued for hay and grain baling operations. The single US tariff line (5607210000) covers all constructions—plaited, braided, or rubber/plastic-coated—so the classification pivot is the end-use designation as binder or baler twine rather than general cordage. Brazil and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with Portugal and Turkey also contributing meaningfully to US import volumes. Importers should note that sisal twine competes directly with synthetic alternatives under 5607.41, and the natural-fiber origin can affect duty treatment under applicable trade programs.

The critical distinction is end-use designation: 5607.21 is reserved specifically for binder or baler twine—products designed for agricultural bundling machinery—while 5607.29 captures all other sisal twine, cordage, rope, and cable not meeting that binder/baler definition. Misclassification between the two headings is a common audit finding, so documentation of the product's intended agricultural use is important.
No. The heading explicitly covers sisal binder or baler twine 'whether or not plaited or braided or coated with rubber or plastics,' so a rubber- or plastic-coated sisal baler twine remains classified under 5607210000 provided it meets the binder/baler end-use criterion.
