HTS heading 4303 is a broad product category for articles made from furskin. It groups together furskin apparel, such as garments; clothing accessories; and other finished articles made from or incorporating furskin. The heading describes the general product family, not the final classification for every item.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the heading and then read the subheadings beneath it. The narrower choices may distinguish the article by its type, construction, constituent material, or another legally specified feature. Classification depends on the product as imported, including whether the furskin is the main material and how the item is designed and presented. Use the tariff wording, section and chapter notes, and any applicable legal rules rather than choosing a code based only on a commercial product name.
What to check
- Identify exactly what the imported item is: a garment, clothing accessory, or another finished article.
- Document the furskin involved, including the animal or material description, whether it is genuine or imitation, and how it is used in the item.
- Check the subheadings and tariff notes under heading 4303 for distinctions based on article type, construction, or material.
- Examine the product as imported, including linings, textile components, trim, and sets or combinations that may affect classification.
- Verify the proposed 8-digit code against current official HTSUS text and seek a customs broker or binding ruling when the wording or material facts are uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
