4301.80.02.02 - Of rabbit

This classification, HTS 4301.80.02.02, specifically covers raw, undressed furskins of rabbit. These are the pelts of rabbits that have undergone initial processing such as scraping and cleaning, but have not yet been tanned or further manufactured into finished fur articles. The material must be suitable for use by furriers in the creation of garments, accessories, or other decorative items. This encompasses whole rabbit skins, which may still include the head, tail, or paws, as long as they are presented in a state ready for furrier operations.

This category is distinguished from its sibling entries primarily by the specific animal species of origin. For instance, while 4301.80.02.01 covers raw furskins of hare, this entry is exclusively for rabbit. Similarly, other sibling codes denote furskins from animals such as beaver, muskrat, nutria, and lynx. The key differentiator lies in the precise identification of the rabbit species as the source of the raw furskin.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level, with the defining characteristic being the species "rabbit." Any raw, undressed furskins not meeting the criteria for rabbit, or those that have undergone further processing beyond the raw stage, would fall under different HTS classifications.
