HTS heading 4302 is a broad product category for furskins that have been tanned or dressed but are not yet made into a finished fur article. It includes complete skins as well as parts such as heads, tails, paws, pieces, and cuttings. The skins may be unassembled or assembled together, but the assembly must not include added materials. Goods that belong in heading 4303, which covers certain manufactured fur articles, are excluded.
To find the specific 8-digit HTS code, start with the fur-bearing animal or material identified in the tariff’s subheadings. Then read the descriptions beneath heading 4302 and compare them with the product’s actual condition, including whether it is a whole skin, a piece or cutting, or an assembly. Confirm that the item is tanned or dressed, rather than raw, and that no other material has been added. The final classification may require reviewing the HTS legal notes, definitions, and customs-broker guidance.
What to check
- Identify the animal species or fur type using commercial records, supplier documentation, and the physical product.
- Confirm the processing stage: tanned or dressed furskins generally belong here, while raw skins or finished fur garments may fall elsewhere.
- Check whether the product is unassembled or assembled only from furskins, without textile, leather, hardware, or other added materials.
- Read every subheading under 4302 and match the most specific description, rather than selecting a general residual category first.
- Keep product photos, specifications, invoices, and processing details; ask a customs broker or ruling authority when the species, assembly, or heading 4303 exclusion 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.
