Last updated: April 2026 dataAstrakhan, broadtail, caracul, Persian lamb, and similar fine-curl lamb furskins from Central Asian and South Asian breeds — including Indian, Chinese, Mongolian, and Tibetan lamb — are consolidated into a single 10-digit line, 4301300000. These pelts are prized in the luxury fur trade for their distinctive tight curl patterns, with broadtail (taken from very young or stillborn lambs) commanding the highest premiums. Importers should be aware that some of these pelts, particularly broadtail, have faced scrutiny from animal welfare advocacy groups, and certain destination markets impose restrictions that may affect re-export planning.

Karakul (caracul) sheep are not currently listed under CITES, so standard CITES permits are not required for these furskins. However, importers should confirm the species identification with their supplier and check for any country-specific export restrictions in the country of origin, as regulations can change. US Fish & Wildlife Service requirements should be reviewed at the time of importation.
Broadtail refers to pelts from very young or premature karakul lambs, valued for their exceptionally flat, wavy fur pattern. Despite the commercial premium, broadtail is not separately enumerated in the US tariff schedule — it falls within the same 10-digit line (4301300000) as other astrakhan and Persian lamb furskins. The distinction matters for valuation and documentation purposes but does not create a separate tariff classification.
