Last updated: August 2026 dataCotton and silk machine lace — along with lace of other non-synthetic fibers — occupies this heading, covering Nottingham, Leavers, and similar mechanically produced constructions in natural fiber substrates. The US schedule distinguishes cotton lace (5804291000), silk-predominant lace over 85% by weight (5804299010), and residual materials (5804299090). The United Kingdom and France, both historic centers of fine machine lace production, lead US supply, with China also a significant source for volume cotton lace. Classification hinges on both fiber content and the mechanical (as opposed to handmade) production method.

Lace is a fabric formed entirely by the lace-making process, with the pattern integral to the construction. Embroidery, by contrast, is stitched onto a pre-existing ground fabric. If a product has a net or mesh ground with an applied embroidered pattern, it may fall under heading 5810 rather than 5804. CBP may request a sample or technical description to resolve borderline cases.
The United Kingdom and France are the leading suppliers of mechanically made natural-fiber lace to the US, reflecting their long-established Leavers and Calais lace industries. Neither country currently has a US free trade agreement in force, so standard MFN column 1 rates apply. Importers sourcing from these origins should confirm current duty rates with a licensed customs broker, as rates vary by the specific 10-digit line.
