HS Code for Artificial fur

HS code 430400 specifically covers artificial fur and articles made thereof. This classification is applied to textile materials designed to imitate natural fur, typically manufactured from synthetic or artificial fibers. The code encompasses both the raw material (faux fur fabric) and finished products where artificial fur is the primary component. This distinct classification prevents confusion with natural fur products, which fall under different headings within Chapter 43, emphasizing the man-made nature of the material.

Products Included

• Faux fur fabric in the piece
• Artificial fur coats and jackets
• Artificial fur collars and cuffs
• Trimmings of artificial fur for garments
• Toys predominantly made of artificial fur

Common Misclassification

Common misclassifications arise when distinguishing artificial fur from natural fur products. Natural fur skins (raw or dressed) are classified under HS codes 4301, and articles of natural fur are under 4303. The fundamental difference lies in the origin: natural animal pelts versus manufactured textile imitations. Another potential area of confusion is with certain long-pile knitted or woven fabrics, which might resemble fur but are not specifically designated as "artificial fur" or articles thereof. These fabrics, if not explicitly artificial fur, would typically be classified under Chapter 58 or 60, depending on their construction.
