Chapter 43: Furskins and artificial fur

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 4302 when importing tanned or dressed furskins, such as whole mink pelts or unassembled pieces like tails and paws. This classification is essential for ensuring compliance with customs regulations and avoiding delays.

When deciding between HS-6 430211 for whole mink furskins and HS-6 430219 for other whole furskins, consider the specific type of animal and whether it is assembled. If your shipment includes unassembled furskins from animals other than mink, 430219 is likely the correct code.

For furskins that are cut into pieces or include heads and tails, HS-6 430220 applies, while HS-6 430230 is for assembled furskins. If your import consists of assembled pieces, ensure you choose the correct line to avoid misclassification.
