HS code for Raw furskins: 4301.80

Furskins, raw, of animals n.e.c. in heading no. 4301, whole, with or without head, tail or paws (excluding goods of heading no. 4101, 4102 and 4103).

Classification of raw furskins under HS 4301.80

Raw 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.

Codes often confused with 4301.80

Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
