Overview
This HTS classification, 4301.80.02.70, specifically covers raw furskins of the fisher animal. These are unfleshed, untreated pelts of fisher, including any associated heads, tails, paws, or other cuttings that are suitable for use by furriers. The crucial element for classification under this code is the identification of the animal as a fisher.
Within the broader category of "Other furskins, whole, with or without head, tail or paws" (4301.80.02), this code distinguishes itself from its siblings by the precise origin of the fur. For instance, sibling categories exist for hare (4301.80.02.01), rabbit (4301.80.02.02), beaver (4301.80.02.03), muskrat (4301.80.02.04), and nutria (4301.80.02.10), each denoting a different species of animal from which the raw furskin is derived. Therefore, accurate identification of the animal species is paramount to ensure correct classification.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under 4301.80.02.70. Classification is complete once the raw furskin is identified as being from a fisher. This means that all raw, unfleshed fisher furskins, regardless of minor variations in preparation as long as they remain suitable for furriers' use, will fall under this specific code.
