U.S. imports of twine, cordage, rope & cable of other synthetic fibers (HS 560750) totaled $9.7M in April 2026, traded with 58 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCordage products made from synthetic fibers other than polyethylene or polypropylene—such as nylon, polyester, or aramid—are classified here, serving demanding applications in marine, industrial lifting, and specialty textile sectors where higher tensile strength or chemical resistance is required. The US schedule includes a notable line (5607502500) for unbraided, 3/4-ply multicolored twine with at least 10% cotton content, reflecting the blended-fiber constructions common in decorative and craft cordage. China dominates US imports under this heading, with Mexico and Canada also active suppliers. Importers of nylon or polyester rope from China should assess Section 301 exposure at the applicable 10-digit line.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US schedule provides a specific line (5607502500) for unbraided or unplaited, 3/4-ply multicolored twine containing at least 10% cotton, of other synthetic fibers. If the product does not meet all of those construction and composition criteria, it would fall into 5607503500 (other unbraided/unplaited) or 5607504000 (other synthetic fiber cordage). Fiber content testing and construction documentation are key to correct classification.
The dividing line is fiber identity: 5607.49 is reserved for polyethylene and polypropylene constructions, while 5607.50 captures all other synthetic fibers—nylon (polyamide), polyester, aramid, acrylic, and similar materials. A fiber composition certificate or material safety data sheet identifying the polymer type is the standard supporting document for making this distinction at entry.
