U.S. imports of polyethylene & polypropylene binder & baler twine (HS 560741) totaled $4.9M in April 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBinder and baler twine manufactured from polyethylene or polypropylene—the dominant synthetic alternative to natural-fiber twine in modern agricultural operations—is classified here, with the US schedule subdividing it into twine wound with nonfibrillated strip (5607411000) and other constructions (5607413000). Portugal leads US imports under this heading, followed by Vietnam and Turkey. The nonfibrillated-strip distinction at the 10-digit level is a common classification challenge: fibrillated tape constructions and standard extruded yarn constructions are treated differently, and the product's tensile specification and knot strength are often cited in commercial documentation relevant to classification.

5607411000 covers binder/baler twine wound with nonfibrillated strip of polyethylene or polypropylene—a specific construction where flat tape rather than spun yarn forms the strand. 5607413000 captures all other polyethylene/polypropylene binder or baler twine not meeting that nonfibrillated-strip definition. Confirming the manufacturing method (extruded strip vs. spun fiber) is essential to selecting the correct line.
Importers should verify current Section 301 exposure for goods of Chinese origin and monitor any antidumping or countervailing duty orders that may apply to synthetic cordage from specific countries. Because Portugal and Vietnam are leading suppliers under this heading, origin documentation and certificates of origin are important for duty assessment and any applicable preference claims.
