HTS code for hair extension: document hair type, attachment, and processing

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A hair extension file needs facts about the hair and how it is prepared. The goods may be human hair wefts, synthetic hair extensions, clip-ins, tape-ins, wigs, braiding hair, ponytail pieces, eyelashes, or hair accessory kits. The invoice phrase can hide very different articles.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The file should show whether the article is human hair, synthetic fiber, a wig-like article, or a finished accessory.

quick answer

For "hts code for hair extension", collect hair type, whether human or synthetic, processing, length, weight, weft or strand form, clip, tape, keratin tip, loop, color, packaging, origin, and supplier code.

Human hair extensions are not the same file as synthetic braiding hair, clip-in ponytails, wigs, or eyelashes. Attachment method and processing should be documented.

facts to collect for a hair extension

Collect:

Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
Hair bundle, weft, attachment, clip, tape, package, label, and color chart photos.
Hair type: human hair, animal hair, synthetic fiber, mixed fiber, or unknown.
Processing: washed, dyed, bleached, curled, straightened, wefted, tipped, ventilated, or bulk hair.
Article type: weft extension, clip-in extension, tape-in extension, braiding hair, ponytail piece, wig, hairpiece, or accessory kit.
Length, weight, color, texture, attachment method, number of pieces, and package count.
Country of origin and production support.
Supplier HS or HTS code and source notes.

If the supplier claims human hair, ask for support. If the article is a wig or hairpiece, record the cap or base construction.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

Human versus synthetic hair is unsupported.
Processing status is unclear.
Extension versus wig, hairpiece, or bulk hair status is unclear.
Attachment method is missing.
Length, weight, package count, or set contents are not listed.
Origin is assumed from shipment route.
Supplier code is unsupported.
Similar CBP CROSS rulings have not been checked.

These gaps can move the review between human hair goods, synthetic hair goods, wigs, hairpieces, accessories, or bulk material.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the actual article: human hair extension, synthetic extension, braiding hair, clip-in piece, tape-in piece, ponytail, wig, or bulk hair. Each row should cite a hair or construction fact.

Rejected alternatives should stay in the record. If the item is not a wig because there is no cap or base, say that. If the hair type is unsupported, leave both human and synthetic paths open.

authority sources

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for human hair, synthetic hair, wigs, hairpieces, and extension rulings.

planning path

Start with hair type and product form. Then write a table for hair material, processing, attachment, length, weight, package count, origin, and supplier code. If the claim is "Remy human hair", request support rather than accepting the listing.

Duty stack notes should include origin and material-specific exposure tied to the candidate path.

This hair extension HTS page is a planning artifact. It is not an Entry Use classification, not a binding ruling, and not a legal opinion. The importer remains responsible for reasonable care and must obtain broker or customs authority review before filing.
