BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.
Classification scope
CN code 580429 covers mechanically made lace from materials other than man-made fibres, including cotton, silk and linen. Cotton lace is a traditional lace material valued for its natural character and breathability. Silk lace represents the luxury segment. Linen lace is used in tablecloths, napkins and decorations. Classification requires confirming machine production and natural fibre composition. Hand-made lace is classified separately regardless of material.
Regulations and quality requirements
Cotton and natural fibre lace is subject to Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 and REACH. Cotton lace for clothing must meet chemical safety requirements for skin contact. Pesticides in cotton are restricted by EU regulations. Silk lace may require special care labelling. GOTS certification for organic cotton lace provides added value. Colour and dimensional fastness to washing must meet ISO 105 standards.
Import and trade
Importing cotton lace requires customs documentation, composition certificates and origin documents. Major suppliers are China, India and Turkey. European premium cotton lace producers are based in France, Belgium and Italy. Transport in rolls or boxes with moisture and crease protection. Preferential rates may be available under trade agreements and the GSP system.
Special other machine-made lace fabrics CN 5804 29 in trade
CN code 580429 covers other machine-made lace classified in Chapter 58 of the Combined Nomenclature. These special fabrics are manufactured using advanced weaving technology, distinguishing them from standard fabrics in Chapters 50-55. When importing into the EU, correctly identifying the production technique (pile, chenille, lace) is key as it determines tariff classification and the duty rate. Importers must also ensure dye and finish REACH compliance.
Frequently asked questions
What natural materials are used in machine lace?
The most common are cotton, linen and silk. Cotton is most popular for versatility and affordability. Linen is used for tablecloth and table decoration lace. Silk is a premium material for luxury lace in clothing and lingerie.
Does organic cotton lace require certification?
The designation organic cotton requires GOTS or equivalent certification confirming ecological cultivation and processing. The certificate covers the entire supply chain from field to finished product. Using the organic designation without certification is non-compliant.
Can machine lace benefit from GSP preferences?
Yes, subject to rules of origin. Lace must be manufactured from yarn in the GSP beneficiary country. Merely cutting or trimming lace typically does not constitute sufficient processing for preferential origin.
How to correctly classify other machine-made lace CN 5804 29?
Classification under CN 5804 29 requires identifying the production technique and fibre type. The special weaving technique must be distinguished from standard weaving. Binding Tariff Information (BTI) ruling can be requested if in doubt.
