5804.30.00.90 - Other (899)

This HTS classification, 5804.30.00.90, encompasses "Other" hand-made lace not specifically categorized under subheadings 5804.30.00.10 or 5804.30.00.20. This category is intended for hand-made lace that does not predominantly consist of silk or silk waste, nor is it specifically classified as cotton or man-made fiber lace. Therefore, it captures a broad spectrum of hand-made lace products made from various other textile materials or combinations thereof, where the defining characteristic is the manual creation process of the lace structure.

It's crucial to differentiate this "Other" category from its siblings. Subheading 5804.30.00.10 is exclusively for hand-made lace with a minimum of 85% silk or silk waste by weight. Subheading 5804.30.00.20 specifically covers hand-made lace made from cotton or man-made fibers. This residual category, 5804.30.00.90, therefore serves as a catch-all for any hand-made lace that doesn't meet the stringent material requirements of the other two subheadings within this level. Examples might include hand-made lace crafted from linen, wool, or other animal hair fibers, or complex blends of materials that do not meet the silk threshold or fall under the cotton/man-made fiber designation.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. The classification decision hinges entirely on accurately determining if the hand-made lace falls within the scope of the silk, cotton, or man-made fiber subheadings. If it does not meet the specific material criteria for those subheadings, it will be classified under this residual "Other" category.
