HTS heading 4301 is a 4-digit product category for raw furskins intended for use by furriers. It can include whole skins as well as heads, tails, paws, pieces, and cuttings, provided they are still raw and suitable for fur-processing use. It does not cover raw hides and skins classified in headings 4101, 4102, or 4103.
To select the specific 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s material and animal type, then follow the applicable subheadings and statistical subdivisions. Classification can also depend on whether the item is a whole skin or a piece, and on whether it has been treated beyond the raw stage. The product’s condition, intended use, and any applicable legal notes should be verified against the current HTSUS and official classification guidance.
What to check
- Confirm that the item is raw rather than tanned, dressed, dyed, or otherwise processed; processing may move it to another heading.
- Identify the animal or fur-bearing species as precisely as possible, using supplier records, labeling, and scientific or common names where available.
- Check whether the item is a whole furskin or a head, tail, paw, piece, or cutting, and determine whether it remains suitable for furriers’ use.
- Verify that the item is not a raw hide or skin covered by heading 4101, 4102, or 4103 before choosing heading 4301.
- Review the current HTSUS subheading text, chapter and section notes, and any relevant Customs rulings; ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling when the material or processing is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
