Chapter 43: Furskins and artificial fur
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 4301 when importing raw furskins like whole mink pelts or fox furs, suitable for furriers. This includes furskins with or without heads, tails, or paws, essential for manufacturers in the fur industry.
When deciding between HS-6 lines, note that 430110 specifically covers whole mink furskins, while 430160 is for whole fox furskins. If you're dealing with lamb furs, including Persian and similar types, you'll look at 430130.
For furskins not specifically mentioned in the other subheadings, such as those from less common animals, 430180 is the right choice. This line encompasses whole furskins from various species not classified elsewhere in this heading.
If you're importing raw pieces or cuttings like heads, tails, or paws, 430190 is the appropriate subheading. This line is tailored for smaller parts that are still suitable for furrier use.
