Analysis
Subheading 5607.41 covers binder or baler twine, within heading 5607. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.7% to 4% with a median of 3.35%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 5607.41.10 for of wide nonfibrillated strip (2.7%) and 5607.41.30 for binder or baler twine: other (201) (4%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Rope, Cordage, Twine, Tire Cord, and Tire Fabric Mills (314994). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Goods only reach 5607.41 once they fall within heading 5607 (twine, cordage, ropes and cables, whether or not plaited or braided and whether or not…). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
