What HS 4301.60 covers

This HS code covers raw, unprocessed furskins derived from foxes, traded as whole skins, which may or may not include the head, tail, or paws.

These raw pelts are a fundamental commodity for furriers and luxury fashion houses globally. Key importers are countries with significant fur dressing and garment manufacturing sectors, such as China, Italy, and Greece, where these skins are prepared and crafted into coats, stoles, and trim.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
