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
