HS code for Fur apparel: 4303.10
Furskin articles, apparel and clothing accessories.
Classification of fur apparel under HS 4303.10
Fur apparel, including coats, jackets, and vests, is classified under HS code 4303.10. This subheading is dedicated to articles of apparel made of furskin. The classification logic follows the principle that garments made entirely or predominantly of furskin (tanned or dressed skins with the hair or wool attached) belong in Chapter 43. This distinguishes them from textile garments found in Chapters 61 or 62. For a garment to be classified under 4303.10, the furskin must be the essential component of the garment, not just a lining or a trim. If a coat is made of textile but lined with fur, it may still fall under 4303 if the fur provides the essential character and is not merely a trimming. However, if the fur is merely a collar or cuff, the garment is usually classified in Chapter 61 or 62 as textile apparel with fur trim. The distinction is vital for trade compliance, as fur products often face stricter import regulations and higher duties than standard textile clothing.

Codes often confused with 4303.10
Common mistake. Fur apparel is often misclassified under HS codes 6101 or 6201, which cover textile overcoats. If the garment is primarily textile with only fur trim, it belongs in those chapters. However, if the fur is the main material, it must be in 4303.10. Another error is using 4302.30, which covers "whole skins and pieces or cuttings thereof, assembled." While assembled skins look like garments, 4303 is reserved for finished articles of apparel ready for wear.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
