HS Code 5607.41 – Twine; binder or baler twine, of polyethylene or polypropylene
HS code 5607.41 is the 6-digit subheading for twine, binder or baler twine, of polyethylene or polypropylene. It is used for polypropylene baler twine, polyethylene binder twine, synthetic hay baling twine, UV-stabilized baling twine and agricultural plastic twine.
What HS 5607.41 covers
This HS code specifically covers binder or baler twine manufactured from synthetic polymers such as polyethylene or polypropylene. Unlike natural fiber alternatives, these synthetic twines offer superior strength, exceptional resistance to rot, mildew, and pests, and consistent performance across a wide range of weather conditions, making them exceedingly popular in modern agriculture. Key importers are agricultural nations and large-scale farming operations globally, seeking reliable and durable solutions for baling hay, straw, and other crops efficiently. Exporters are typically countries with advanced petrochemical industries and sophisticated textile manufacturing capabilities. The trade in synthetic baler twine is driven by the demand for efficient and long-lasting agricultural consumables, playing a crucial role in mechanized farming practices worldwide due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
