Human hair extensions Hs Code

Human hair extensions harmonized system code

Product Overview Human hair extensions classified under HS Code 670420 refer to natural hair strands sourced from human donors, processed and prepared for commercial use. These extensions are characterized by their origin (100% human hair), varying lengths typically ranging from 12 to 30 inches, and texture options such as straight, wavy, or curly. The processing levels include cleaning, sterilization, dyeing, and sometimes chemical treatments to ensure hygiene and desired aesthetic qualities. Quality attributes focus on cuticle alignment, tensile strength (usually between 50-100 cN per strand), and moisture content (maintained below 12%) to preserve hair integrity. HS Code 670420 encompasses various subcategories including raw hair, dyed hair, and treated hair extensions, each differentiated by processing intensity and finish. Commercially, these extensions serve predominantly in the beauty and fashion retail sectors, hairdressing salons, and specialized processing industries engaged in product customization. Their market positioning emphasizes durability, natural appearance, and compliance with international quality standards, offering a competitive advantage in global markets focused on premium hair products. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The complete HS Code for human hair extensions is 6704.20, where Chapter 67 covers “Prepared feathers and down and articles made of feathers or of down; human hair,” Heading 6704 specifies “Wigs, false beards, eyebrows and eyelashes, switches and the like, of human hair,” and Subheading 6704.20 designates “Human hair, unworked, dressed, or otherwise prepared; waste of human hair.” Classification under 670420 is based on the product’s material composition (100% human hair) and its state of preparation. Trade considerations include packaging in moisture-resistant, ventilated containers to prevent fungal growth and contamination during transit. Preservation methods often involve sterilization and antimicrobial treatments compliant with international health regulations. Shipping requirements mandate adherence to customs documentation protocols under the WTO framework, including accurate declaration of weight (typically 100-500 grams per bundle) and origin for tariff and compliance verification. Quality standards align with ISO norms and regional cosmetic product regulations, ensuring traceability, authenticity, and hygiene. This classification facilitates standardized customs clearance, supports tariff determination, and streamlines international trade logistics for importers, exporters, and customs brokers.
