HS code 6704 covers a diverse range of products related to human and animal hair, including wigs, false beards, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other hair accessories. This industry plays a significant role in the global beauty and fashion sectors, catering to the growing demand for hair enhancement and replacement products. The production and trade of these items are important economic activities, with implications for the textile, cosmetics, and personal care industries.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 6704 typically involves a combination of manual and automated processes. Human or animal hair is carefully selected, cleaned, and processed to create the desired texture and appearance. Wigs and hair pieces may be hand-knotted or machine-woven onto a base, while false eyebrows and eyelashes are often made by hand. Synthetic textile materials may also be used to create hair-like products, which are then shaped and styled to mimic natural hair.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 6704 items include human or animal hair, textile materials (such as synthetic fibers), adhesives, and specialized machinery for hair processing and wig/hairpiece construction. High-quality raw materials, skilled labor, and advanced manufacturing techniques are essential to ensure the durability, comfort, and natural appearance of these products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 6704 industry are wigs, false beards, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other hair accessories. These products are often consumed by the 6303 Textile furnishings and 3304 Cosmetics and toiletries industries, as well as by individual consumers for personal use. The trade and distribution of these items are also important economic activities, with implications for the global 9603 Brooms, brushes, and mops and 9505 Articles for festivals, carnivals, or other entertainment sectors.
