HS code 4301.80 is the 6-digit subheading for furskins, raw, of animals n.e.c. in heading no. 4301, whole, with or without head, tail or paws (excluding goods of heading no. 4101, 4102 and 4103). It is used for raw sable pelts, unprocessed chinchilla skins, whole lynx furs, raw beaver pelts and raccoon skins.

What HS 4301.80 covers

This broad HS code captures raw, whole furskins from various animals not specifically enumerated in other 4301 subheadings, such as sable, chinchilla, lynx, beaver, or raccoon. These skins are traded in their unprocessed state, often including head, tail, or paws, and are destined for the fur dressing and garment manufacturing industries. This category is crucial for the diverse luxury fur market, catering to specific fashion demands for unique textures and patterns. Importers are typically countries with advanced fur processing capabilities and a strong luxury goods market, like China, Italy, and Greece. Exporters can be diverse, ranging from countries with specific wildlife populations (e.g., Canada for beaver/lynx) to those with specialized farming operations (e.g., chinchilla). The trade requires adherence to CITES regulations for endangered species and careful grading based on fur quality, density, and size.

In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 430180 in UN Comtrade data was Russia, with about 57% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Thailand, with 55% of world imports. Cambodia did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 70% of its imports here ($9.1M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top importers.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
