Frequently asked questions
I make fishing nets and cargo slings in rope: do they fall under 13.94.00 or technical textiles?
Yes, 13.94.00 is the right code. It covers twine, cordage, rope, textile cables and the articles derived from them: fishing nets, fenders, cargo slings, ropes fitted with metal rings. If instead the product is a conveyor belt or a textile transmission belt, that falls under technical textiles 13.96.00.
I produce knotted nets by interlacing twine and rope: is this the manufacture of knitted fabrics (13.91.00)?
No. Knotted nets made from twine, cord or rope remain under 13.94.00. 13.91.00 covers knitted and crocheted fabrics, which is a different technique. Here you start from twine and rope and knot them — you are not knitting yarn.
I spin the yarn myself and then make rope from it: does it all fall under 13.94.00, or do I also need the spinning code?
The finished rope stays under 13.94.00 — that is where the classification places twine, cordage and rope. If, however, your core activity is preparing and spinning textile fibres to produce yarn, that is spinning 13.10.00. The deciding factor is where you stop: yarn leads to 13.10.00, rope leads to 13.94.00.
I make decorative twines and trimmings such as passementerie for upholsterers: 13.94.00 or technical textiles?
Usually not 13.94.00 when we are talking about trimmings and ornamental braiding. Cords, fringes and decorative passementerie for furnishing fall under technical and industrial textiles 13.96.00. 13.94.00 is for real twine and rope — items used for tying and load-bearing — not decorative cord.
