The heading is number 4 of 4 in Chapter 43, Furskins and artificial fur; manufactures thereof, which runs to 12 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 4304 covers
In plain words, that means fake fur and the goods made from it. The Harmonized System is the shared list that customs offices use to name goods, and 4304 is one heading on that list.
You may see the same heading written as HS 4304, HSN code 4304 or HTS code 4304. The names differ by country, but they point to the same goods. Everyday trade talk says faux fur. The customs wording is artificial fur.
The words "articles thereof" matter. They stretch the heading past the raw material. Finished goods made from artificial fur sit here too.
Artificial fur vs furskin: 4304 or 4301-4303?
The first test for furskin vs artificial fur classification is the source of the fur. If it came from an animal, look at 4301, 4302 or 4303. If it is man-made, look at 4304.
Chapter 43 sorts real fur by how far it has been worked. Artificial fur gets its own heading at the end:
- 4301: raw furskins, including heads, tails, paws and cuttings that furriers can use.
- 4302: tanned or dressed furskins, whole or put together without other materials.
Difference between HS 4303 and 4304
This is the pair people mix up most. Both can describe a coat, a collar or a trim. The deciding point is the material, not the shape of the product.
A collar cut from real furskin goes to 4303. A collar cut from faux fur goes to 4304. If you are unsure, read the legal notes of the chapter and ask a customs broker to confirm before you ship.
HS code 430400 and national tariff lines
The six-digit level is the shared international level. Some countries add extra digits to it for their own tariffs. Those extensions are not the same everywhere, so we do not list them here.
Duty rates and taxes are also set country by country. For tariff classification in your own market, check the local schedule. The HS code classifier can help you narrow down the right heading first.
