HS code 4302.20 is the 6-digit subheading for furskins, tanned or dressed, heads, tails, paws and other pieces or cuttings, not assembled, excluding goods of heading no. 4303. It is used for fox fur tails, mink fur scraps, rabbit fur pieces, sable fur heads and beaver fur cuttings.
What HS 4302.20 covers
This category covers furskins that have been tanned or dressed, but are in the form of heads, tails, paws, and other pieces or cuttings, and importantly, are not yet assembled. These are essentially valuable remnants from the processing of whole furskins, which are then traded for various secondary uses. They are utilized in the production of trimmings for garments, linings, small decorative items, or as raw material for crafting into larger assembled pieces at a later stage. Importers are typically manufacturers of fur products, fashion accessories, or artisans. Exporters are often countries with significant fur farming or processing industries, such as Denmark, Canada, and the USA. Key aspects of this trade include maximizing the utility of every part of the furskin, the influence of fashion trends on demand for specific fur types, and ongoing considerations regarding ethical sourcing and animal welfare.

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).
