HS Code 560729

HS code 560729 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading 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 : Of sisal or other textile fibres of the genus Agave : Other". The first two digits (56) are the chapter — Wadding, felt and nonwovens; twine, cordage, ropes — and digits 3-4 (5607) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 560729 include sisal rope, sisal cordage, sisal string, agave fiber rope and similar items matching of sisal or other textile fibres of the genus agave. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (560729) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
