Shoe laces Hs Code

Shoe laces harmonized system code

Product Overview Shoe laces classified under HS Code 630790 refer to textile cords specifically manufactured for fastening footwear. These products are typically composed of woven or braided fibers such as cotton, polyester, nylon, or blended yarns, exhibiting tensile strengths ranging from 15 to 50 Newtons depending on material composition and diameter. Processing includes dyeing, coating for abrasion resistance, and tip reinforcement via plastic or metal aglets to enhance durability and ease of threading. HS Code 630790 encompasses various subcategories, including flat, round, elastic, and non-elastic laces, each differentiated by weave pattern, elasticity, and intended application. Commercially, these shoe laces serve critical functions in footwear manufacturing, retail sales, and aftermarket replacement, ensuring secure fitment and user comfort. Their market positioning is anchored in consistent quality assurance, compliance with international material safety standards, and adaptability to diverse footwear types, making them indispensable components within global supply chains for footwear and related accessories. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The complete HS Code 630790 falls under Chapter 63—“Other Made-Up Textile Articles; Sets; Worn Clothing and Worn Textile Articles”—with Heading 6307 specifying “Other made-up articles, including dress patterns.” The subheading 630790 precisely covers “Other made-up articles of textile materials, not elsewhere specified.” This classification is justified by the nature of shoe laces as textile-made fastening accessories, distinct from apparel or industrial textile products. Trade considerations include packaging in bulk quantities ranging from 100 to 1,000 units per carton, often sealed to prevent moisture ingress and contamination. Preservation protocols mandate dry, ventilated storage conditions to maintain fiber integrity and prevent microbial degradation. Shipping requirements adhere to international standards, ensuring proper documentation for customs clearance, including fiber content declarations and conformity certificates aligned with WTO regulations. Quality standards typically reference ISO 17025 testing for tensile strength and elongation, alongside compliance with REACH and CPSIA for chemical safety, facilitating seamless import/export operations and trade compliance across jurisdictions.
