Overview
This HTS category, 6704, encompasses a range of items designed to augment or substitute for natural hair, including wigs, false beards, eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair switches. The materials used for these articles can be human hair, animal hair, or various textile materials. This classification also includes other articles fashioned from human hair that are not specifically covered elsewhere in the tariff schedule.
Within the broader Section XII, which deals with items like headgear, artificial flowers, and articles of human hair, Chapter 67 specifically addresses prepared feathers, down, and articles made from them, alongside artificial flowers and articles of human hair. Category 6704 is distinct from other potential sibling categories in the HTS by its focus solely on artificial hairpieces and related items, rather than live animals, prepared feathers, or finished headwear as separate entities.
To further refine classification, subcategories within 6704 differentiate articles based on their primary material composition. These subdivisions are crucial for determining the correct tariff rate and any applicable trade regulations, recognizing the distinct sourcing and manufacturing processes associated with different materials. The presence of subcategories like "Of synthetic textile materials," "Of human hair," and "Of other materials" allows for precise identification of the goods.
