HS Code for Synthetic wigs

Synthetic wigs are classified under HS code 6704.11. This code is part of Chapter 67, which covers prepared feathers, down, artificial flowers, and articles of human hair. Specifically, heading 67.04 is for wigs, false eyebrows, eyelashes, and similar articles. The subheading 67.04.11 is reserved for "complete wigs" made of synthetic textile materials. To be classified here, the item must be a finished wig ready for use. The materials used are typically synthetic polymers like kanekalon or polyester fibers designed to mimic human hair. Classification is straightforward under GRI 1, as the product name matches the heading and subheading descriptions. However, the distinction between a "complete wig" and "other" hair articles (like extensions or braids) is vital for choosing between 6704.11 and 6704.19.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 6704.19, which covers other articles of synthetic hair such as hairpieces, braids, and extensions. If the item does not cover the whole head as a complete wig, it belongs in 6704.19. Another error is using 6704.20, which is strictly for articles made of human hair. Additionally, raw synthetic hair not yet made into a wig belongs in 67.03.
