HS code for Raw fox furskins: 4301.60

Furskins, raw, of fox, whole, with or without head, tail or paws.

Classification of raw fox furskins under HS 4301.60

Raw fox furskins are classified under HS code 4301.60 because they represent the raw, unprocessed pelts of animals specifically identified as foxes within the nomenclature of Chapter 43. This chapter is dedicated to furskins and artificial fur, with heading 4301 specifically covering raw furskins that have not yet undergone tanning or dressing processes. The classification 4301.60 is a specific subheading for fox skins, which must be whole, although they may be presented with or without the head, tail, or paws. To qualify for this code, the skins must only be preserved for transport—typically through drying, salting, or freezing—and must not show any signs of the tanning process which would move them to heading 4302. The distinction is critical as it separates raw materials from semi-processed goods. The skins must retain their hair or wool to be considered furskins; if the hair were removed, they would likely fall under Chapter 41. Furthermore, this code is reserved for fox species; other animals like mink or seal have their own dedicated subheadings within the same 4301 group. According to the General Rules of Interpretation, specific descriptions take precedence over general ones, making 4301.60 the mandatory code for all whole raw fox pelts regardless of the specific fox variety, such as silver, red, or arctic. The skins must be in a state where the fur is the primary component of value, intended for use in garments or accessories where the natural hair is displayed. Any further preparation beyond basic preservation, such as softening or dyeing, would disqualify the product from this heading and necessitate classification under processed furskins.

Codes often confused with 4301.60

Common mistake. A frequent error is classifying these under HS code 4302.19. Code 4302 refers to furskins that have been tanned or dressed, whereas 4301.60 is strictly for raw skins. Another confusion occurs with HS code 4301.80, which is for other furskins not specifically named; however, since fox is explicitly mentioned in 4301.60, the specific code must take precedence over the general one.

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).
