Use HS-6 580421 when importing or exporting mechanically made lace crafted from man-made fibers. This could include lace trims used in garments or decorative lace for home textiles, often sold in rolls or pieces.
This code specifically covers lace that is not woven, knitted, or crocheted, distinguishing it from other lace products like those classified under HS-6 580429, which includes lace made from other materials or methods.
