Machine-made lace and embroidery are classified under Chapter 58. Lace fabric (not embroidery) is 5804. Embroidery is 5810. The distinction matters because embroidery is added decoration to an existing fabric base, while lace is a fabric in which the pattern is the structure. Tulle, net fabric, and mesh are 5804.10. Hand-embroidered articles may qualify for preference schemes in some GSP countries. The fibre content of the embroidery thread (not the base fabric) determines the subheading.
