Last updated: July 2026 dataSynthetic pile fabrics and finished articles designed to simulate real fur — commonly called faux fur — classify under a single 10-digit line (4304000000) and are entirely distinct from real furskin products in both material composition and regulatory treatment. China overwhelmingly dominates supply of artificial fur to the US market, and goods from China in this category are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making tariff engineering and first-sale valuation strategies particularly relevant for importers. Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, and Peru also supply this heading, primarily with higher-value faux-fur fabric and finished fashion goods. Unlike real furskins, artificial fur carries no CITES or species-documentation requirements.

Artificial fur (heading 4304) is characterized by a backing material — typically woven, knitted, or nonwoven — with fibers attached to simulate the appearance and texture of real animal fur. Standard pile fabrics classified in Chapter 58 or 60 differ in that they are not specifically designed to imitate fur. CBP may request laboratory analysis or detailed technical specifications when the distinction is not clear from visual inspection or commercial documentation.
Yes — the Fur Products Labeling Act (FPLA), enforced by the FTC, requires that articles containing real animal fur be labeled with the animal's name, country of origin, and other disclosures. Conversely, articles made entirely of artificial fur must not be labeled or marketed in a way that implies real fur content. Importers of faux fur should ensure their product labeling and marketing materials comply with FPLA requirements before distribution.
