HS code for Raw fur pieces: 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 raw fur pieces under HS 4301.90
Raw fur pieces, including heads, tails, and paws, are classified under HS code 430190. Chapter 43 covers furskins and artificial fur, with heading 4301 specifically for raw furskins. While whole skins are classified in the preceding subheadings of 4301, subheading 430190 is the residual category for pieces or cuttings that are suitable for furriers' use. These are the remnants or specific extremities of the animal that still possess the hair or wool attached to the skin. The classification excludes hides and skins of headings 4101, 4102, or 4103, which are generally those without hair or from specific animals like bovine or sheep. The primary factor for this classification is the "raw" state, meaning the pieces have not been tanned or dressed.

Codes often confused with 4301.90
Common mistake. Raw fur pieces are frequently misclassified under 430220, which covers pieces or cuttings of furskins that have been tanned or dressed. The "raw" status is the defining characteristic of 430190. Furthermore, if the pieces are from animals like bovine or equine, they should be classified in Chapter 41. It is also important not to confuse these with whole skins (430110 through 430180), as 430190 is strictly for fragments such as heads, tails, and paws.

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).
