Last updated: August 2026 dataSynthetic-fiber cordage outside the polypropylene and polyethylene categories — including nylon, polyester, and specialty blends — falls under this heading, whether or not plaited, braided, or coated with rubber or plastics. The US schedule separates unbraided/unplaited multicolor 3/4-ply constructions with cotton content (5607502500) from other unbraided/unplaited forms (5607503500) and a general NESOI line (5607504000), distinctions that matter for agricultural baling twine, marine rope, and industrial lifting applications. China leads supply, with Mexico and Canada — both USMCA partners — also prominent sources.

Classification turns on whether the product is braided or plaited versus simply twisted, the number of plies, whether it contains a minimum cotton content, and the specific synthetic fiber type. For example, unbraided 3/4-ply multicolor cordage with at least 10% cotton has its own line (5607502500), while other unbraided synthetic cordage and braided forms fall into separate residual lines.
No — the heading explicitly covers cordage 'whether or not coated with rubber or plastics,' so the presence of a rubber or plastic coating does not move the product to a different heading. However, if the coating is so substantial that it changes the essential character of the article, classification in a plastics or rubber chapter may need to be considered.
