HS-4 · Heading
5804 — Tulles and other net fabrics; not including woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics; lace in the piece, in strips or in motifs, (other than fabrics of headings 60.02 to 60.06)
Chapter 58: Special woven fabrics
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 5804 when importing tulles and other net fabrics, such as a shipment of lace curtains made from synthetic fibers. This heading includes fabrics that are not woven, knitted, or crocheted, and it specifically excludes certain lace fabrics classified under headings 60.02 to 60.06.
When deciding between the HS-6 lines, consider the material and manufacturing method of your lace products. For example, if your lace is mechanically made from man-made fibers, you would classify it under 580421. If it’s made from natural fibers, you should look at 580429 instead.
If you have hand-made lace, it falls under 580430. This distinction is crucial as it can affect duty rates and compliance with import regulations. Ensure you accurately identify the type of lace to avoid misclassification.
Tulles, which are often used in fashion and decoration, are classified under 580410. If your shipment consists of net fabrics that do not fall into the lace categories, this is the appropriate code.
