Classification of human hair wigs under HS 6704.20
Human hair wigs are classified under HS code 6704.20. This heading is part of Chapter 67, which covers prepared feathers and down and articles made thereof, artificial flowers, and articles of human hair. The classification 6704.20 specifically targets finished articles made of human hair, including full wigs, partial hairpieces, and other facial hair enhancements like false beards or eyebrows. The primary criteria for this classification are the material composition (human hair) and the state of the product (a finished article). Unlike raw or semi-processed hair, these items are ready for immediate use by the end consumer. The Harmonized System uses this specific subheading to differentiate high-value natural hair products from synthetic alternatives, which are subject to different trade regulations and duty rates.

Codes often confused with 6704.20
Common mistake. Human hair wigs are often confused with synthetic wigs, which are classified under 6704.11 (complete wigs) or 6704.19 (other synthetic articles). Another common mistake is using HS code 6703.00, which is only for the prepared hair material that has not yet been made into a wig. Importers must verify the material origin, as misclassifying a human hair wig as synthetic (or vice versa) can lead to significant customs penalties due to the price disparity between the two materials.

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).
