Round Cotton Drawstrings from China
Twisted cotton cords used as lacings in corsets, hoodies, or footwear, similar to traditional shoestrings. HTS 6307.90.50 covers these as 'similar lacings' due to their made-up, functional lacing purpose. They feature paraffin wax coating for smooth gliding.

Import Tips
• Document end-use as lacing to differentiate from general cords under 5607
• Test for wax/coating content; heavy impregnation might invoke subheading 6304.20 notes
• Bulk bales risk reclass to worn articles if not clearly new under Chapter 63 notes
