Classification of tanned fur scraps under HS 4302.20
Tanned fur scraps are classified under HS code 4302.20. This code is part of Chapter 43, which covers furskins and artificial fur. Heading 4302 is designated for tanned or dressed furskins. Subheading 4302.20 specifically addresses pieces or cuttings of furskins, such as heads, tails, paws, and other irregular remnants, provided they are not yet assembled. The classification depends on the state of the material; it must be tanned or dressed (processed to preserve the skin and soften the fur) but must remain as individual pieces. The distinction between raw and tanned is vital. Raw scraps are classified in 4301, while those that have been dressed—meaning the leather side has been made supple and the fur cleaned—fall under 4302. Subheading 4302.20 is intended for the byproduct of the fur-cutting process. These pieces are often used for small accessories, trim, or are eventually sewn into plates or mats. However, as long as they remain as unassembled pieces or cuttings, they are restricted to this specific code. This ensures that the trade of fur remnants is tracked separately from whole pelts or finished fur products.

Codes often confused with 4302.20
Common mistake. HS code 4302.30 is the most common misclassification, which covers whole skins and pieces or cuttings thereof, assembled. If the scraps are sewn together into a rectangular shape (a plate) for easier transport or further manufacturing, they must be moved to 4302.30. Another confusion arises with 4303.90, which covers finished articles of fur. Scraps are raw materials for manufacturing, not finished articles, unless they have been fashioned into a specific product like a keychain or garment trim.

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).
