Nylon rope harmonized system code

Product Overview Nylon Rope, under the Harmonized System (HS) Code 5607, is a twisted or braided cordage made from synthetic polymers of nylon. Its physical specifications vary widely in diameter, length, tensile strength, and color based on the specific application. The manufacturing process typically involves extrusion and spinning of nylon into fibers which are then twisted or braided into ropes. HS Code 5607 encompasses a broad category of twine, cordage, ropes, and cables, and the subcategory for Nylon Rope is specifically linked to the material and production process. Commercial applications of Nylon Rope are extensive, spanning sectors such as maritime, construction, outdoor recreation, and retail. Its value proposition lies in its high strength, durability, abrasion resistance, and ability to absorb shock loads, making it a preferred choice over ropes made from natural fibers. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The Nylon Rope falls under the 6-digit HS Code 5607.50, where the first two digits '56' represent the chapter for 'Wadding, felt and nonwovens, special yarns; twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof', the next two '07' refer to the heading for 'Twine, cordage, ropes and cables, whether or not plaited or braided and whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics', and the last two '50' denote the subheading for 'Of other synthetic fibers'. Its classification under this specific code is due to its synthetic nylon composition and cordage form. Nylon Ropes are commonly packaged in coils or reels, protected by shrink wrap for preservation, and are shipped in cartons or pallets to prevent damage during transit. They must meet quality standards such as tensile strength and elongation at break, which are often verified through testing to comply with international safety regulations. This information is crucial for trade professionals to ensure compliance with international trade regulations, customs documentation, and quality assurance protocols.

Nylon rope Chapter Note

1.- This Chapter does not cover : (a) Wadding, felt or nonwovens, impregnated, coated or covered with substances or preparations (for example, perfumes or cosmetics of Chapter 33, soaps or detergents of heading 34.01, polishes, creams or similar preparations of heading 34.05, fabric softeners of heading 38.09) where the textile material is present merely as a carrying medium; (b) Textile products of heading 58.11; (c) Natural or artificial abrasive powder or grain, on a backing of felt or nonwovens (heading 68.05); (d) Agglomerated or reconstituted mica, on a backing of felt or nonwovens (heading 68.14); (e) Metal foil on a backing of felt or nonwovens (generally Section XIV or XV); or (f) Sanitary towels (pads) and tampons, napkins (diapers) and napkin liners and similar articles of heading 96.19. 2.- The term “felt” includes needleloom felt and fabrics consisting of a web of textile fibres the cohesion of which has been enhanced by a stitch-bonding process using fibres from the web itself. 3.- Headings 56.02 and 56.03 cover respectively felt and nonwovens, impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber whatever the nature of these materials (compact or cellular). Heading 56.03 also includes nonwovens in which plastics or rubber forms the bonding substance. Headings 56.02 and 56.03 do not, however, cover : (a) Felt impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber, containing 50 % or less by weight of textile material or felt completely embedded in plastics or rubber (Chapter 39 or 40); (b) Nonwovens, either completely embedded in plastics or rubber, or entirely coated or covered on both sides with such materials, provided that such coating or covering can be seen with the naked eye with no account being taken of any resulting change of colour (Chapter 39 or 40); or (c) Plates, sheets or strip of cellular plastics or cellular rubber combined with felt or nonwovens, where the textile material is present merely for reinforcing purposes (Chapter 39 or 40). 4.- Heading 56.04 does not cover textile yarn, or strip or the like of heading 54.04 or 54.05, in which the impregnation, coating or covering cannot be seen with the naked eye (usually Chapters 50 to 55); for the purpose of this provision, no account should be taken of any resulting change of colour.
