Schiffli Lace Embroidery Motif from Japan
Schiffli lace embroidery motifs are machine-stitched on a soluble ground that is dissolved, leaving only the embroidered threads forming intricate lace patterns. With no visible ground, these motifs fall under tariff item 5810.10.00 for embroidery without visible ground. They are used in lingerie, bridal wear, and decorative applications.

Import Tips
• Confirm that the motifs are fully freestanding with no ground fabric, as any visible ground would change the classification
• Provide CBSA with a clear description of the soluble ground process
• Verify the fibre content of the embroidery threads, as this may affect duty rates
