4302.30.00.00 - Whole skins and pieces or cuttings thereof, assembled

This HTS classification, 4302.30.00.00, specifically addresses tanned or dressed furskins, whether whole or in pieces or cuttings, that have been assembled. This assembly can occur by stitching, sewing, or other means of joining, but crucially, it excludes the addition of other materials beyond the furskin itself. The intent is to cover finished or semi-finished furskin articles where the individual components of the furskin have been brought together to form a larger unit or surface area.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 4302.20, which pertains to individual heads, tails, paws, and other pieces or cuttings of furskins that are *unassembled*. While both deal with parts of dressed furskins, this category is defined by the act of assembly. Furthermore, it differs from the broader category of "Tanned or dressed furskins (including heads, tails, paws and other pieces or cuttings), unassembled, or assembled (without the addition of other materials) other than those of heading 4303," by specifically focusing on the assembled state.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under 4302.30.00.00. Therefore, classification under this code relies on identifying tanned or dressed furskins that are presented in an assembled form, with the understanding that this assembly is exclusively from furskin components and does not incorporate other materials like linings or embellishments, which would be classified elsewhere.
