4 six-digit codes · Heading 4 of 4 in Chapter 67 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
It also covers switches and other hairpieces made of human hair, animal hair or textile materials.
The WCO writes heading 6704 as a residual bucket: goods of Chapter 67that answer to “Wigs, false beards, eyebrows and eyelashes, switches and the like, of human or animal hair or of textile materials; articles of human hair, n.e.c. or included” and that no more specific heading in the chapter already claims. It still carries 4 six-digit codes, 670411 through 670490, so “other” is not the end of the classification here. The heading is number 4 of 4 in Chapter 67, Feathers and down, prepared; and articles made of feather or of down; artificial flowers; articles of human hair, which runs to 8 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 6704 covers
Heading 6704 is for finished hairpieces. These are items a person wears or attaches to the head or face. The list includes wigs, false beards, false eyebrows, false eyelashes and switches. It also takes in similar goods, such as hair extensions, when they are made of the listed materials.
The heading sits in Chapter 67. The name "wigs hs code" is how many traders search for it. The same heading is called "HSN code 6704" in India. Both names point to the same Harmonized System number.
The materials decide the exact code. A hairpiece can be made of human hair, animal hair, synthetic textile or another textile. Human hair articles that are not named elsewhere also fall here.
HS 6704 subheadings: synthetic, human hair and other materials
Each subheading below answers one question: what is the item made of, and is it a complete wig? Use this list as a quick guide.
- 670420: use for human hair wigs and for other human hair articles of this kind. This is the subheading 6704.20 that many guides mention.
- 670490: use for the same goods made of animal hair or of textile materials that are not synthetic.
How to pick the right wigs HS code 6704 subheading
Start with the material. Look at the label, the supplier's spec sheet or the lab test. Decide if the hair is human, animal, synthetic or another textile.
Then ask if the item is a complete wig. This step matters only for synthetic goods. Any other synthetic hairpiece goes to 670419. For human hair, both wigs and other articles share 670420. For animal hair or non-synthetic textile, both share 670490.
Here are three quick examples. A full synthetic wig is 670411. A human hair wig is 670420.
Mixed goods can be harder. A wig may use human hair and synthetic fibre together. If you are unsure, check the rules for your own country and try the HS code classifier before you file.
6704 vs 6703 and other Chapter 67 headings
The difference between HS 6703 and 6704 is the stage of the goods. Heading 6703 is for hair that has been worked but is not yet a product. It also includes animal hair or textile material prepared for use in making wigs.
Raw bundles of prepared hair therefore go to 6703. A made wig goes to 6704. Check the same split when you read trade data, because the two headings can look close.
Other headings in this chapter are far from wigs. Heading 6701 covers bird skins, feathers and down.
