HS Code 4302.30 – Furskins; tanned or dressed, whole skins and pieces or cuttings thereof, assembled, excluding goods of heading no. 4303
HS code 4302.30 is the 6-digit subheading for furskins, tanned or dressed, whole skins and pieces or cuttings thereof, assembled, excluding goods of heading no. 4303. It is used for mink fur plates, fox fur crosses, sable fur sacs, rabbit fur linings and assembled beaver fur panels.
What HS 4302.30 covers
This HS code encompasses furskins that have undergone tanning and dressing, and have subsequently been assembled into larger forms, such as plates, crosses, sacs, or similar configurations. Crucially, these assembled pieces are not yet finished articles of apparel or accessories (which fall under 4303). They represent an intermediate product in the fur industry, ready for cutting and tailoring into coats, jackets, linings, or other final fur articles. The trade in these assembled furskins is significant for luxury fashion houses and garment manufacturers globally. Importers are typically major fashion production hubs like China, Italy, and Russia, while exporters are countries with strong fur processing and assembly capabilities, such as Denmark, Finland, and Canada. Key considerations include the quality of the assembly, the uniformity and aesthetic appeal of the fur, and the ever-present ethical and sustainability debates surrounding the fur industry.

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).
