HS code for Fur scraps: 4301.90
Furskins, raw, heads, tails, paws and other pieces or cuttings, suitable for furrier's use, excluding goods of heading no. 4101, 4102 and 4103.
Classification of fur scraps under HS 4301.90
Fur scraps in their raw state are classified under HS code 4301.90. This code is designated for raw furskins, including heads, tails, paws, and other pieces or cuttings that are suitable for furriers' use. The critical factor for this classification is that the scraps must be 'raw'—meaning they have not been tanned or dressed. Under the Harmonized System, Chapter 4301 is reserved for skins in the raw state, which may be fresh, salted, dried, limed, or pickled, but not further prepared. These scraps are typically the by-products of the skinning process or the initial trimming of whole skins. They are valued for smaller fur applications, such as the creation of plates or small accessories, provided they retain the hair or wool. If the scraps have had the hair removed, they are no longer classified in Chapter 4303 and would instead fall under Chapter 41 (Hides and Skins). The classification 4301.90 ensures that these raw materials are tracked separately from whole raw skins (4301.10 through 4301.80) and from processed fur waste.

Codes often confused with 4301.90
Common mistake. Fur scraps are often misclassified under HS code 4302.90, which is for pieces and cuttings of furskin that have already been tanned or dressed. The distinction between raw and processed is vital for customs compliance. They are also sometimes confused with HS code 0511.99, which covers animal products not elsewhere specified, but 4301.90 is more specific for furrier-grade scraps. Additionally, if the scraps are considered 'waste' not suitable for furrier use, they might be classified as animal offal.

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).
