5804.29.90.10 - Containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This HTS category, 5804.29.90.10, specifically classifies mechanically made lace that is composed of 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This distinguishes it from other mechanically made lace within heading 5804. The focus on a high silk content is the primary criterion for inclusion here, indicating a premium or specialized type of lace valued for the inherent properties of silk.

Within the broader classification of mechanically made lace of other textile materials, this subcategory stands apart due to its silk composition. It is distinct from its sibling, 5804.29.90.90, which covers mechanically made lace of other textile materials not meeting the 85% silk threshold. Therefore, the exact percentage of silk by weight is the critical factor in directing goods to this specific code.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 5804.29.90.10 is final once the goods are identified as mechanically made lace, composed of other textile materials, and confirmed to contain 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This level of detail ensures precise tariff treatment for these specific silk-based laces.
