HS Code for False eyelashes (human hair)
HS code 6704.20 is specifically reserved for false eyelashes, wigs, and similar articles made of human hair. This classification is straightforward under the Harmonized System, which separates hair-based articles by the source material: synthetic, animal, or human. Human hair eyelashes are often preferred in the premium cosmetic market for their natural appearance and durability. The classification process involves verifying that the primary component of the lash fringe is indeed human hair. If the lashes are mounted on a synthetic band, they remain under 6704.20 as long as the hair itself is human. This code is distinct from the raw material classification (0501.00), which covers unworked human hair. The transition from Chapter 5 to Chapter 67 occurs once the hair has been worked (e.g., bleached, curled, or assembled into a finished article).

Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification is HS code 6704.19, which applies to synthetic eyelashes. Another error is using 0501.00, which is only for raw, unworked human hair. Importers must ensure the material is verified as human hair to avoid the 6704.90 (animal hair) classification.
