You refer to this piece of nylon fabric as lace but it appears to be a warp knit fabric. The narrow fabric has a sewn selvedge on both sides. A thin metallic wire has been inserted along each lengthwise edge. The wire is held in place with an overlock stitch; the wire allows the fabric to be bent and shaped. The assembled item is considered “made up” as that term is defined in Legal Note 7(f) to Section XI, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTSUS). The applicable subheading for item #D74954-11 will be 6307.90.9889, HTSUS, which provides for other made up textile articles, other. The rate of duty will be 7% ad valorem. In your letter, you suggest classification as appliqué work under heading 5810, HTSUS.
