4301.30.00.00 - Of lamb, the following: Astrakhan, Broadtail, Caracul, Persian and similar lamb, Indian, Chinese, Mongolian or Tibetan lamb, whole, with or without head, tail or paws

This HTS classification covers raw, untanned furskins specifically derived from various types of lamb. The scope includes whole skins, even if the head, tail, or paws are still attached. Key examples within this category are Astrakhan, Broadtail, Caracul, Persian, and similar lamb breeds, as well as lamb from Indian, Chinese, Mongolian, and Tibetan origins. The defining characteristic for this subheading is the origin of the animal and the specific breed of lamb, signifying distinct fur qualities sought after in the furrier trade.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its exclusive focus on lamb-derived furskins. For instance, HTS code 4301.10.00 pertains solely to mink furskins, while other related codes like 4301.60 and 4301.80.02 cover fox and other general furskins, respectively. Furthermore, 4301.90.00.00 is reserved for parts of furskins (heads, tails, paws, cuttings) rather than whole skins, highlighting the specificity required at this level of classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 4301.30.00.00 is final, meaning goods meeting the description of whole, raw lamb furskins of the specified breeds are classified here. The focus is on the raw, unprocessed state of the furskin, suitable for subsequent processing by furriers.
