Hair nets

Hair nets of human or animal hair or textile materials

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6704 19 10 (Hair nets) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles within Chapter 67 — including wigs, false beards, and eyelashes of human hair or textile materials — share the same heading but may be subject to distinct classification treatment depending on composition and end use.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Classification accuracy is the operative risk at this tariff line: hair nets made wholly of textile material may attract scrutiny under Chapter 63 (other made-up textile articles) depending on the predominant material, while those incorporating human hair fall squarely within Chapter 67. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Confirm the material composition — human hair, animal hair, or textile fibre — against the tariff schedule before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 6704 19 10 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the hair net is made predominantly of textile fibre rather than hair?

A predominantly textile-fibre construction may lead customs to re-classify the article under Chapter 63 (other made-up textile articles), which carries its own tariff treatment and potentially different compliance obligations.
