Overview
This HTS classification, 6704.20.00.00, specifically covers articles such as wigs, false beards, eyebrows, eyelashes, and similar items that are exclusively manufactured from human hair. This includes individually crafted pieces as well as those that are combined or attached to create a more complete hairpiece. The defining characteristic for this category is the primary material composition: human hair.
This category is distinguished from its siblings by the material of construction. While 6704.90.00.00 covers articles made from "other materials" (which can include animal hair, textile materials, or a combination), and the sibling category implicitly addresses synthetic textile materials within the broader heading of 6704, this specific subheading is solely dedicated to articles made from human hair. It is crucial for customs purposes to verify the origin of the hair fibers used in the manufacturing process.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the accurate identification of the article as being made of human hair. Practical classification will involve inspecting the item to confirm its composition, distinguishing it from articles made of animal hair, synthetic fibers, or other textile materials that would fall under different HTS codes within heading 6704.
