Chapter 67: Prepared feathers and down
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6703 when importing human hair that has been dressed, thinned, bleached, or otherwise processed for wig production. For example, a shipment of 100 kg of bleached human hair intended for a wig manufacturer falls under this heading.
When determining if your product fits HS-6703, consider the processing level. If the hair is raw and unprocessed, it may not qualify. However, once it’s dressed or bleached, it clearly falls under this heading.
The distinction between HS-6703 and other headings hinges on the intended use. If your product is made from animal hair but not specifically for wigs, it may belong to a different category. Ensure you check the specific end-use of your materials.
