5804.29.90 - Other

This HTS category, 5804.29.90, encompasses mechanically made lace crafted from textile materials other than cotton. It broadly covers any mechanically produced lace that does not fall under the specific enumeration of cotton-based lace. The "other textile materials" designation signifies a broad range of fibers that can be utilized in the creation of this lace, including synthetic, man-made, or other natural fibers besides cotton.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5804.29.10.00, is crucial. The sibling category is exclusively for mechanically made lace composed of cotton. Therefore, this category serves as the catch-all for mechanically made lace when cotton is not the predominant or sole textile material. The classification hinges on the fiber content and the method of manufacture, specifically identifying the lace as being mechanically produced.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on specific material composition. The subcategories, 5804.29.90.10 and 5804.29.90.90, allow for a more granular categorization of "other textile materials." The first, 5804.29.90.10, specifically addresses lace containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, acknowledging the distinct value and properties of silk. The second, 5804.29.90.90, acts as a residual category for all remaining mechanically made lace not classified as cotton or primarily silk.
