HS code for Artificial fur: 4304.00

Fur, artificial, articles thereof.

Classification of artificial fur under HS 4304.00

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.

Codes often confused with 4304.00

Common mistake. 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.

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).
