HS code for Fur articles: 4303.90
Furskin articles, other than apparel and clothing accessories.
Classification of fur articles under HS 4303.90
HS code 430390 is a residual category for articles made of furskin that are not classified as apparel or clothing accessories. Classification in Chapter 43 is based on the material composition, specifically the use of tanned or dressed furskins. While subheading 430310 covers garments like coats, capes, and hats, 430390 captures all other manufactured items where the furskin provides the essential character of the product. This includes a variety of household goods, decorative items, and industrial articles. The General Rules for Interpretation require that if an article is made of furskin and is not a garment, it must fall into this "other" category. This classification is important for distinguishing between the fashion industry and the home decor or utility sectors. The furskin used can be from any animal (except those specifically excluded by Note 1 to Chapter 43, such as common hides), and the article may include other materials like textile linings or leather supports, provided the fur remains the dominant feature.

Codes often confused with 4303.90
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is with HS code 430310, which is strictly for wearable clothing. Another error involves HS code 4302, which is for tanned or dressed furskins that have not yet been made into finished articles. If the fur is synthetic (faux fur), it must not be classified here; instead, it falls under heading 4304 as artificial fur.

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).
