HS Code for Fake fur products

HS Code 4304.00 is designated for artificial fur and articles made therefrom. This classification is determined by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, specifically focusing on the material composition and the intent to imitate natural furskins. Artificial fur, often referred to as "fake fur" or "faux fur," consists of synthetic fibers (such as acrylic, modacrylic, or polyester) that are attached to a textile base by weaving, knitting, or other processes to resemble animal fur. Unlike natural fur, which falls under headings 4301 to 4303, artificial fur is a manufactured textile product. However, because its primary utility and aesthetic are to serve as a substitute for fur, it is grouped within Chapter 43 rather than Chapter 60 (knitted fabrics) or Chapter 50-55 (textile fibers). This classification applies whether the product is imported as bulk fabric or as finished articles like garments or home accessories.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 4303, which is strictly for articles of natural furskin. Importers may also mistakenly use Chapter 61 or 62 for apparel; however, if the outer surface is predominantly artificial fur, 4304.00 takes precedence. Additionally, simple pile fabrics that do not clearly imitate fur should be classified under 6001.
