About heading 6310
Used or new rags, scrap twine, cordage, rope and cables, and worn out articles of twine, cordage, rope or cables, of textile materials
Heading 6310 covers used or new rags, scrap twine, cordage, rope and cables, and worn out articles made of textile rope, cordage or twine. The heading splits first into sorted goods (6310.10) and other goods (6310.90), and then by fiber: wool or fine animal hair, cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile materials. Sorting means the material has been separated by fiber type or grade rather than left as mixed scrap.
