View full HS code details

Raw lamb furskins are classified under HS code 4301.30. This specific subheading is reserved for the raw skins of certain breeds of lamb, including Astrakhan, Broadtail, Caracul, Persian, and similar varieties, as well as Indian, Chinese, Mongolian, or Tibetan lambs. The classification applies to whole skins, which may include the head, tail, or paws. The defining characteristic for Chapter 43 classification is the presence of the hair or wool on the skin, intended for use as fur. If the wool were removed, the skins would likely fall under Chapter 41. Under 4301.30, the skins must be in a raw state, which allows for preservation methods like drying or salting, but excludes any skins that have undergone tanning or dressing. This distinction is vital for customs valuation and regulatory compliance, as raw furskins are treated as primary livestock products rather than semi-finished textiles. The breeds listed in this subheading are specifically noted because of their high value in the fur industry, often characterized by unique curl patterns or textures. For a product to remain in 4301.30, it must not be dressed, a process that involves softening the skin and preparing it for use in garments. Once dressed, the skins move to heading 4302. Proper identification of the lamb breed is necessary to ensure the correct application of this code.
