Production process

The production of goods under HS code 6704 typically involves a combination of manual and automated processes. Wigs and hair pieces are often made by hand, with skilled workers carefully attaching individual strands of human or synthetic hair to a base material. This process requires precision and attention to detail to ensure a natural and seamless appearance. In some cases, machine-assisted techniques, such as weaving or knitting, may be used to create the base for hair attachments. The final products are then carefully styled and finished to meet the desired aesthetic.

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 6704 items include raw human or animal hair, as well as synthetic hair fibers. Specialized machinery, such as sewing machines, weaving looms, and styling tools, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, adhesives, base materials (e.g., lace, mesh, or fabric), and packaging supplies are necessary to complete the final products.
