4301.60 - Of fox, whole, with or without head, tail or paws:

This HTS category, 4301.60, specifically addresses raw furskins of fox, in their whole form, regardless of whether the head, tail, or paws are attached. These are unprocessed furskins, intended for use by furriers in the manufacture of various articles. The key characteristic is that the raw material is derived from foxes and is presented as a complete skin.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 4301.10 covers mink, and 4301.30 deals with specific types of lamb, 4301.60 is exclusively for fox furskins. Furthermore, it differs from 4301.80, which encompasses "other" furskins not specified elsewhere, and 4301.90, which pertains to detached parts of furskins rather than whole skins.

Within this category, further distinctions are made at the subheading level. Subcategory 4301.60.30.00 further refines the classification to include furskins of silver, black, or platinum fox, recognizing specific color mutations of the species. The subheading 4301.60.60.00 then covers all other raw fox furskins that do not fall under the silver, black, or platinum designation, ensuring a comprehensive classification of all fox varieties.
