About HS Code 560750
This HS code covers twines, cordage, ropes, and cables manufactured from synthetic fibers other than polyethylene or polypropylene, such as nylon, polyester, aramid (e.g., Kevlar), or UHMWPE (e.g., Dyneema). These advanced synthetic ropes are engineered for extreme performance, offering superior strength-to-weight ratios, exceptional abrasion resistance, and specific properties like heat resistance, buoyancy, or minimal stretch, depending on the fiber. Importers are typically high-tech industries including aerospace, defense, offshore oil and gas, specialized marine, and extreme sports, where reliability and performance are paramount. Exporters are countries with advanced chemical and textile industries capable of producing these specialized fibers and converting them into high-performance ropes. The trade in these products is driven by demand for cutting-edge solutions in critical applications where conventional materials are insufficient.
Products Under This Code
Nylon climbing ropes, Polyester mooring lines, Aramid fiber tow ropes, UHMWPE yachting ropes, Dyneema fishing lines, Vectran industrial slings, Kevlar protective cords, Technora high-performance ropes
Real World Examples
