HS Code 4303Articles of apparel, clothing accessories and other articles of furskin
2 six-digit codes · Heading 3 of 4 in Chapter 43 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 4303 is the customs heading for ready-made fur goods, from fur garments to other finished items. Use this page to choose the right subheading and to see where the heading ends.
Heading 4303 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Articles of apparel, clothing accessories and other articles of furskin” classify either at 430310 or at 430390, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 3 of 4 in Chapter 43, Furskins and artificial fur; manufactures thereof, which runs to 12 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 4303 covers
Furskin is animal skin with the hair still on it. This heading takes goods that were cut, sewn and made up from it, such as a fur coat or a fur scarf.
The wording has three parts: apparel, clothing accessories and other articles. Apparel means garments. Clothing accessories are items worn with clothes. Other articles are made-up furskin goods that nobody wears as clothing.
The Harmonized System is the shared naming list that customs offices use for traded goods. A heading carries the same meaning from one market to the next.
Customs officers work from the finished item. They ask what it is, what it is made of and how far it has been processed. A made-up furskin article points here. A loose skin or a scrap of skin points to a neighbouring heading.
430310 or 430390: how to choose
The choice depends on one question. Is the item apparel or a clothing accessory?
Look at the finished item, not at the skin it was cut from. A fur garment is judged as a garment. A made-up furskin item that is not worn as clothing is judged as another article.
This matters for your research. The wrong six-digit code can hide shipments you wanted or show you shipments you did not. If you doubt your choice, check the goods in the HS code classifier first.
- Choose 430310 when the item is apparel or a clothing accessory made of furskin.
- Choose 430390 when the item is a furskin article but not apparel and not a clothing accessory.
How 4303 differs from 4301, 4302 and 4304
The headings next to this one follow the material from raw skin to finished goods. Each has its own page.
Nothing has been tanned or made up yet.
They can be loose or assembled, as long as no other materials are added. Its wording leaves out goods that belong here. So the gap is the stage of the goods. The skin has been treated in 4302, and in 4303 it has become a product.
The material decides. If the fur is man-made, go to 4304, even when the item looks the same as a real one.
