Wigs, complete, of synthetic textile materials.
Classification of synthetic wigs under HS 6704.11
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.

Codes often confused with 6704.11
Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
