HS code for False eyelashes (human hair): 6704.20
Wigs, false beards, eyebrows and eyelashes, switches and the like and other articles n.e.c., of human hair.
Classification of false eyelashes (human hair) under HS 6704.20
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).

Codes often confused with 6704.20
Common mistake. 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.

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).
