What determines the tariff number?
- Material composition. Ropes made from wool, cotton, plastic, or other textile fibers are classified differently. The material is a primary driver of the correct tariff code.
- Construction and processing. Twisted rope, braided rope, or impregnated/coated rope follow different classification rules based on how they are manufactured and treated.
- Intended use and special properties. Ropes for binding, specialized cordage, or rope with particular functional properties are assigned to distinct tariff categories.
