Wigs, complete, of synthetic textile materials.
Classification of costume wigs under HS 6704.11
Costume wigs made of synthetic textile materials are classified under HS code 6704.11. Chapter 67 covers prepared feathers and down and articles made thereof, artificial flowers, and articles of human hair. Heading 6704 is dedicated to wigs, false beards, eyebrows, eyelashes, and switches. Subheading 6704.11 specifically targets complete wigs made from synthetic textile materials. These products are often used in the entertainment industry, for theatrical performances, or as part of costumes. The classification is strictly based on the material (synthetic vs. human hair) and the form (complete wig vs. individual hair pieces). Synthetic wigs are typically made from fibers like polyester, acrylic, or modacrylic, which are processed to resemble human hair. The complete wig designation means the item is ready to wear and covers the entire head. This distinguishes it from hair extensions or partial hairpieces, which are classified under 6704.19. The classification process involves identifying the primary material of the hair fibers. If the wig contains any human hair, it would be moved to 6704.20. The durability and quality of the wig do not generally affect the HS code, provided it meets the definition of a complete wig made of synthetic fibers. Importers must ensure that the synthetic fibers are not classified as simple textile fibers under Chapter 54 or 55, as the process of making them into a wig moves them into Chapter 67. The construction of the wig cap, whether it is a simple mesh or a more complex lace front, does not change the primary classification under 6704.11 as long as the fibers are synthetic.

Codes often confused with 6704.11
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 6704.19, which covers other articles of synthetic hair like extensions, fringes, or braids. It is also confused with 6704.20 if the wig contains human hair. Some importers mistakenly use 9505.90 (festive articles), but heading 6704 is more specific for wigs regardless of their intended use as a costume.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
