HS Code 4301.90 – Furskins; raw, heads, tails, paws and other pieces or cuttings, suitable for furrier's use, excluding goods of heading no. 4101, 4102 and 4103

HS code 4301.90 is the 6-digit subheading for furskins, raw, heads, tails, paws and other pieces or cuttings, suitable for furrier's use, excluding goods of heading no. 4101, 4102 and 4103. It is used for raw mink tails, fox paw cuttings, lambskin head pieces, sable fur scraps and chinchilla fur trimmings.

What HS 4301.90 covers

This HS code covers raw, unprocessed pieces and cuttings of furskins, rather than whole skins. This includes heads, tails, paws, and other smaller sections that are still suitable for use by furriers. These "off-cuts" are valuable by-products of the fur industry, often used for trim, collars, cuffs, or smaller accessories, maximizing the utility of each animal. International trade in these items involves suppliers who process whole skins and buyers who specialize in manufacturing smaller fur items or adding fur details to garments. Importers are typically countries with a robust garment manufacturing sector, particularly those producing luxury outerwear or accessories, such as China, Italy, and Eastern European nations. Exporters are often countries with large fur farming or processing operations. The trade focuses on efficient utilization of materials and cost-effectiveness, as these pieces offer a more economical way to incorporate fur into products compared to using whole skins.

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).
