HS-4 · Heading

6701 — Skin and other parts of birds with their feather or down; feathers, parts of feather, down and articles thereof (other than goods of heading no. 0505 and worked quills and scapes)

Chapter 67: Prepared feathers and down

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6701 when importing skins and other parts of birds, along with their feathers or down. For example, if you're shipping a batch of duck feathers for insulation in jackets, this code applies. It covers both raw materials and processed items, making it essential for textile manufacturers and craft suppliers.

When deciding between subheadings, note that HS-6 670100 encompasses all skins and parts of birds, including feathers and down. If your shipment includes unworked feathers or bird skins, this is the correct classification. However, ensure your products do not fall under heading 0505, which pertains to animal products not covered here.

If you're unsure about the specifics, consider that HS-6 670100 is broad, covering various forms of feathers and down. This includes both loose feathers and those attached to skins. If your shipment consists of processed feathers, such as those sewn onto garments, you might need to verify if additional classifications apply.
