HS code for hair scrunchies
Hair scrunchies usually ship under 6217.10. Here is the full US code, the duty, the customs description to use, and what would make it a different code.
Based on the example: “Silk hair scrunchie” (silk, elastic).
Why this code
A fabric-covered elastic scrunchie is a ponytail holder, which heading 6217 names specifically. Because it is mostly woven silk, the 70%+ silk line applies.
Official tariff textOther made up clothing accessories; parts of garments or of clothing accessories, other than those of heading 6212 > Accessories > Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste > Headbands, ponytail holders and similar articles
When it would be a different code
- 6217.10.8500 If silk is less than 70% by weight (e.g., heavy elastic content or blended fabric).
- 9615.19.6000 If treated as a hair accessory under heading 9615 rather than a textile ponytail holder.

Estimate for a parcel sent by post, using US rates collected since 24 July 2026 (rates dated 2026-10-23). Since 9 July 2026 Etsy asks sellers outside the US to include this duty in their US price. Upload your shop to see it per product and variation.
Shipping hair scrunchies to the EU
Use the same 6-digit code, 6217.10. Since 1 July 2026 the EU charges a flat €3 duty for each different type of item in a parcel worth €150 or less, so hair scrunchies in one order add €3 however many are in the box.
