Use HS-6 670420 when importing or exporting wigs, false beards, and other similar articles made from human hair. For instance, a shipment of human hair wigs for theatrical use falls under this code.
This code specifically applies to products like wigs and false eyelashes made entirely from human hair, distinguishing them from those made from synthetic fibers or animal hair, which would fall under different classifications.
