Handwoven Alençon Lace Appliqué
Handwoven Alençon lace appliqués are traditional needle lace motifs with raised cordonnet relief work and fine hexagonal mesh grounds. They are classified under tariff item 5804.30.00 as hand-made lace, which includes lace in the piece, in strips, or in motifs. These appliqués are not embroidered grounds, so they fall squarely within the hand-made lace heading.

• Declare the fibre content (e.g
• silk, cotton, or synthetics) as it can affect the duty rate
• Keep invoices and shipping documents ready to prove the value and hand-made nature of the goods
