HS chapter 67: Prepared feathers and down
Section XII — Footwear, headgear, umbrellas, sun umbrellas, walking-sticks, seat-sticks, whips, riding-crops and parts thereof; prepared feathers and articles made therewith; artificial flowers; articles of human hair
Goods classified under HS-67 include feathers, down, artificial flowers, and products made from human hair. For instance, if you’re importing decorative artificial flowers for a retail store, this chapter will guide you in selecting the correct classification.
To determine the appropriate HS-4 code, start by examining the product's primary material and intended use. For example, if your shipment consists of feathers and down, you would likely look at 6701. If it’s artificial flowers, then 6702 is the right choice.
As you drill down to HS-6 codes, pay attention to specific product descriptions and any notes related to exclusions. For instance, 6703 covers dressed human hair, while 6704 pertains to wigs and similar items. Ensure you check the details to avoid misclassification.
Consider the packaging and form of your products as well. If you have a mixed shipment, clarify the primary component to select the right heading. Misunderstanding the nuances between headings can lead to incorrect duties or delays.
