Hair nets

Hair nets of human hair

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 6704 20 20 (Hair nets of human hair) 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, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles within Chapter 67 — particularly wigs, false beards, and eyelashes of human or animal hair — may be classified under sibling tariff lines where specific compliance considerations apply.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to the broader heading: wigs, switches, and cosmetic hair articles classified elsewhere within heading 6704 may attract distinct regulatory treatment depending on material composition and intended use. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, from human-hair nets to textile-material nets — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify material composition and intended use precisely against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.

Does HSN 6704 20 20 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.

Hair nets of textile materials fall under a different tariff line within heading 6704 and should be assessed separately for applicable compliance requirements.
