False beards, eyebrows and eyelashes, switches and the like, of synthetic textile materials.

Classification of false eyelashes under HS 6704.19

False eyelashes are classified under HS code 6704.19 because they fall within the category of articles of human hair or synthetic textile materials used for personal adornment. Specifically, heading 6704 encompasses wigs, false beards, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The subheading 6704.19 is designated for items made from synthetic textile materials, which is the most common material for commercial false eyelashes. Classification is determined by General Interpretative Rule 1, which dictates that classification is determined according to the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Since these items are finished articles intended to mimic natural hair, they are excluded from general textile chapters and placed in Chapter 67. This classification remains consistent regardless of whether the eyelashes are intended for professional salon use or retail sale to individual consumers. The material composition is the primary driver for this specific code, distinguishing synthetic versions from those made of human hair or animal hair.

Codes often confused with 6704.19

Common mistake. HS code 6704.20 is often confused with 6704.19; however, 6704.20 is strictly for products made of human hair. Additionally, some importers mistakenly look at 3304.20, which covers eye makeup preparations. While eyelashes are used on the eyes, they are physical articles rather than chemical preparations, excluding them from Chapter 33. Another error involves 6704.11, which is reserved specifically for complete wigs made of synthetic materials. It is also important to avoid Chapter 05, which covers raw animal hair, as false eyelashes are significantly worked and prepared articles.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
