6307.90.50 - Corset lacings, footwear lacings or similar lacings

This HTS category, 6307.90.50, specifically covers corset lacings, footwear lacings, and other similar lacing articles manufactured from textile materials. These items are designed for the purpose of fastening or securing garments or footwear through a series of loops or eyelets. The scope is limited to the lacings themselves, not the completed garments or footwear they are intended for.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, note that it is separate from items like labels (6307.90.30) or cords and tassels (6307.90.40), which may share textile origins but serve entirely different functional or decorative purposes. While other "other made up textile articles" exist at this level, 6307.90.50 is precisely defined by its function as a lacing system.

The subcategories within 6307.90.50 provide further refinement based on the primary textile material. 6307.90.50.10 specifically addresses lacings made of cotton, while 6307.90.50.20 encompasses all other similar lacing articles made from different textile fibers. This differentiation is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
