4301.80.02 - Other furskins, whole, with or without head, tail or paws

HTS Code 4301.80.02 encompasses raw furskins of various animals, presented whole and unprocessed, and suitable for further use by furriers. This category specifically includes furskins that are not of mink (4301.10), Astrakhan, Broadtail, Caracul, Persian, or similar lamb varieties (4301.30), nor are they classified under fox furskins (4301.60). It also excludes individual parts such as heads, tails, paws, or cuttings that are suitable for furriers' use, which are found under 4301.90.

The distinction of this sub-heading lies in its inclusion of a broad range of "other" animal furskins that meet the criteria of being raw and whole. This general category is further broken down into more specific animal types to facilitate precise classification based on the source animal.

The subcategories under 4301.80.02 provide a detailed breakdown, identifying specific types of furskins such as those from hare, rabbit, beaver, muskrat, nutria, lynx, marten, sable, fisher, and raccoon, among others. This granular classification is crucial for accurately determining applicable duties, quotas, and trade regulations, reflecting the diverse origins and potential market values of these raw furskins.
