5804.29.90.90 - Other (899)

This classification encompasses mechanically made lace that is not primarily composed of silk or silk waste. It includes all varieties of mechanically produced lace, regardless of pattern or design, as long as the dominant fiber content is not silk. This category serves as a residual for mechanically made lace, capturing items not specifically designated for silk-based constructions.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 5804.29.90.10, is crucial. The sibling category specifically covers mechanically made lace containing 85 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Therefore, the present category, "Other," applies to all other mechanically made lace that falls below this silk content threshold, including those made from cotton, synthetic fibers, artificial fibers, or blends where silk is present but not predominant by weight.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is final at this point, meaning that any mechanically made lace meeting the criteria of not being predominantly silk will be classified here. Examples could include intricate lace produced by machines using cotton yarns for wedding attire, or synthetic lace used for decorative trim on apparel or home furnishings where silk is absent or present in minimal quantities.
