U.S. imports of twine, cordage, rope & cable of other fibers (nesoi) (HS 560790) totaled $1.7M in April 2026, traded with 52 countries.
Importers of Twine, Cordage, Rope & Cable of Other Fibers (NESOI) paid $252K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $1.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Twine, Cordage, Rope & Cable of Other Fibers (NESOI) imports of $1.7M in April 2026 ran 17% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.0M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataNatural-fiber cordage not classified elsewhere—including coir, jute, abaca (Manila hemp), and other hard fibers—is consolidated in this residual heading, which carries the most granular US tariff structure in Chapter 56 with seven distinct 10-digit lines. Abaca fiber receives particular attention, with lines distinguishing strand constructions greater than 1.88 cm diameter (5607902500) from other abaca products, reflecting the Philippines' role as the world's primary abaca producer and a leading US supplier under this heading. China also supplies significant volumes of coir and other fiber cordage. The breadth of fiber types means correct classification depends heavily on identifying the specific plant-fiber source.

Abaca (Manila hemp) rope has historically been used in heavy marine and industrial applications where large-diameter, high-strength constructions command different commercial values and compete with different synthetic alternatives. The 1.88 cm diameter threshold at 5607902500 separates heavy-duty strand constructions from lighter abaca cordage, allowing more precise duty treatment aligned with end-use and competitive conditions.
Both fall under 5607.90, but the US schedule provides a dedicated line (5607901000) for coir—the fiber derived from coconut husks—and a separate line (5607901500) for jute and other textile bast fibers. Identifying the specific plant source of the fiber is therefore essential; a fiber identification test or supplier mill certificate confirming coir versus bast fiber origin will support the correct 10-digit line selection.
