5804.29 - Of other textile materials:

This HTS category, 5804.29, encompasses mechanically produced lace crafted from textile materials other than man-made fibers. This includes lace manufactured using mechanical processes that create openwork patterns, mimicking traditional lace but through automated means. The key differentiator for this classification is the absence of man-made fibers as the primary constituent material.

Unlike its sibling category, 5804.21, which specifically addresses mechanically made lace of man-made fibers, 5804.29 focuses on lace made from other materials. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application, as different fiber compositions can carry varying duty rates. The "other textile materials" designation implies a broad range of natural fibers or combinations thereof, excluding those explicitly covered in the sibling category.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory 5804.29.10.00 specifically addresses lace made of cotton, a common natural fiber. The residual subcategory, 5804.29.90, is designated for mechanically made lace of all other textile materials not otherwise specified, including those from wool, silk, or other vegetable fibers, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all qualifying lace products.
