Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hair from animals like yak or horse
Chapter 5 distinguishes human hair (0501) from animal hair (0502); misidentification changes heading based on species.
If bleached, dyed, or permed
Any chemical treatment or artificial processing moves it from unworked raw material to worked hair in Chapter 67.
If sold as waste mixed with precious metal scraps
Hair waste combined with metals for industrial recovery falls under Chapter 71 as other waste, not pure hair waste.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify hair origin with supplier certificates to comply with CITES if mixed with protected species, though pure human hair is exempt
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'unworked, unwashed' status to prevent misclassification as processed hair
• Check for waste content; pure unworked hair avoids higher scrutiny on sanitary imports
