π¦ Unassembled Dyed Raccoon Fur (Tanned/Dressed)
π HS Code Reference & Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Clearance Strategy
π I. Product Definition & Classification: Do You Understand "Raccoon Fur"?
Unassembled Dyed Raccoon Fur refers to tanned or dressed raccoon furskins, including heads, tails, paws, and other pieces, which are ready for furriers' use but are not yet assembled into a complete garment or other article. Unlike raw furskins, these have undergone tanning, dyeing, and dressing processes.
In international trade, this product is strictly categorized under Chapter 43 (Prepared feathers and articles made of feathers; artificial flowers; articles of human hair). The key distinction lies in whether the fur is raw (untanned) or tanned/dressed.
β οΈ Key Distinction Point:
- If the fur is Raw (untanned, suitable for furriers' use): It falls under Heading 4301.
- If the fur is Tanned/Dressed (processed, dyed, ready for manufacturing): It falls under Heading 4302.
- Critical Note: The user input specifies "Dyed Raccoon Fur," which implies processing. Therefore, it must be classified under 4302, not 4301, unless explicitly stated as "raw" (which contradicts "dyed").

About HS Code Classification
The Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardized nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to classify traded products. Over 200 countries use the HS system as the basis for customs tariffs, trade statistics, and import/export regulations.
Each HS code follows a hierarchical structure:
- Chapter (2 digits) β Broad category of goods (e.g., Chapter 84: Machinery and Mechanical Appliances)
- Heading (4 digits) β More specific grouping within the chapter
- Subheading (6 digits) β Internationally standardized breakdown, used by all WCO member countries
- National subdivisions (8-10 digits) β Country-specific extensions for further classification, such as US HTSUS 10-digit codes
Correct HS code classification is essential for smooth customs clearance, accurate duty payment, and compliance with trade regulations. Misclassification can lead to customs delays, overpayment of duties, or penalties.
When importing from CN to US, the applicable tariff rates may include:
- Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate β The standard duty rate applied to WTO members
- General rate β Applied to countries without trade agreements
- Trade remedy duties β Additional tariffs such as Section 301 (anti-dumping), Section 232 (national security), or countervailing duties
