Last updated: September 2026 dataMechanically produced lace of man-made fibers — polyester, nylon, and similar synthetics — is a high-volume input for lingerie, apparel trim, and home textile applications. A single 10-digit line (5804210000) covers the full heading, meaning fiber-blend documentation is critical to confirm the goods do not fall under the knitted fabric headings of Chapter 60. China dominates US imports under this heading, with France supplying premium Calais-style machine lace and Thailand contributing mid-market production. Goods of Chinese origin may be subject to Section 301 tariffs.

CBP differentiates lace under heading 5804 from knitted fabrics in Chapter 60 based on construction method. Mechanically made lace is produced on a Leavers, Raschel, or similar lace machine using a twisting or looping technique distinct from warp or weft knitting. Importers should obtain mill certificates or technical data sheets specifying the machine type and construction method, as the distinction directly affects the applicable tariff line and any applicable trade remedy exposure.
Yes. Man-made fiber lace of Chinese origin classified under 5804210000 may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the current Section 301 list status for this HTS line and confirm the country of origin, particularly when lace is cut or assembled in a third country, as substantial transformation rules will determine origin for duty purposes.
