HS Code for Raw furskins
View full HS code detailsRaw furskins of animals not specifically named in other subheadings of heading 4301 are classified under HS code 430180. This code acts as a "basket" category for whole skins, with or without heads, tails, or paws, that do not belong to mink, lamb, seal, or fox. Chapter 43 governs the classification of furskins, and heading 4301 is restricted to those in a raw state. To qualify for this code, the skin must have the hair, wool, or fur fibers still attached. The classification is determined by the animal species and the completeness of the skin. If the skin is from an animal like a beaver, nutria, or muskrat, and it is presented as a whole skin that has not been tanned or dressed, it falls under 430180.

Common Misclassification
Importers often misclassify specific furskins like mink (430110) or fox (430160) under the general 430180 code. This "other" category should only be used when the animal species does not have a dedicated subheading. Additionally, if the furskin has been processed beyond basic preservation (e.g., tanned or bleached), it must be moved to heading 4302. Confusion also arises with heading 4103, which covers raw hides of other animals but specifically those without the hair or wool attached.
