Product classification
HS code for Dog coats: 4201.00
Saddlery and harness, for any animal (including traces, leads, knee pads, muzzles, saddle cloths, saddle bags, dog coats and the like), of any materials.
Classification of dog coats under HS 4201.00
Dog coats are classified under HS code 4201.00, which covers saddlery and harness for any animal. This classification applies regardless of the material used to manufacture the coat, whether it is leather, synthetic textile, wool, or plastic. This is governed by the specific wording of the heading and Chapter 42 Note 1, which explicitly includes equipment for animals like dog coats, leads, and muzzles. This is a unique case where the material of composition rule is superseded by the specific use for animals description. Many importers mistakenly look toward textile chapters for dog apparel, but those chapters are strictly reserved for human clothing. The classification ensures that all animal clothing and protective gear are centralized under one code for international trade consistency.

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).
