4301.80.02.20 - Of lynx

This HTS category, 4301.80.02.20, specifically classifies raw furskins of lynx, which are suitable for use by furriers. This means the skins are in their natural state, un-tanned, and are of a quality and size appropriate for manufacturing into garments, accessories, or other fur products. The inclusion of "heads, tails, paws and other pieces or cuttings" indicates that even parts of the lynx, if usable for furrier purposes, fall under this classification.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by the specific animal from which the furskin is sourced. While other categories under 4301.80.02 might cover raw furskins of hare, rabbit, beaver, muskrat, or nutria, this particular code is exclusively for lynx furskins. The distinction is based on the species of animal, which dictates the unique characteristics of the fur, such as texture, length, density, and color, influencing its value and application in the fur trade.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this classification. Therefore, the primary focus for classifying goods under 4301.80.02.20 is confirming that the raw furskin is indeed from a lynx and that it is presented in a condition suitable for furriers' use, meaning it has not undergone any tanning or processing that would alter its classification into a finished product.
