Last updated: April 2026 dataDressed human hair and prepared animal or textile fiber materials destined for wig and hairpiece manufacturing represent a specialized upstream input for the beauty and theatrical industries. Unlike finished wigs, these materials are imported in a worked but not yet assembled state, and their classification depends on the degree of processing — sorted, bleached, or otherwise treated hair is treated differently from raw hair. Section 301 tariffs have affected imports of processed human hair from China, which has historically been a dominant source for this material.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Raw human hair that has been sorted, cleaned, bleached, dyed, or otherwise processed to prepare it for wig manufacturing is classified as dressed or worked hair under this heading. Completely unprocessed hair clippings fall under a different classification. The degree and type of processing should be clearly described on the commercial invoice to support accurate classification.
Human hair for wig manufacturing is not subject to FDA drug or device regulations, but importers should be aware that CBP may scrutinize shipments for accurate valuation and origin marking. There are no mandatory admissibility permits specific to processed human hair, though standard country-of-origin marking requirements apply. Importers sourcing from China should also account for applicable Section 301 tariff exposure.
