Last updated: April 2026 dataArtificial fur — textile or other materials made to resemble animal fur — and finished articles such as coats, trim, and accessories made from it are classified here rather than with genuine furskin goods, reflecting the material distinction that separates synthetic pile fabrics from dressed pelts. The heading covers both the raw artificial fur fabric and completed articles, so importers must determine whether they are bringing in yardage or finished garments, as the two may carry different duty rates at the HTS subheading level. Artificial fur articles have gained commercial prominence as alternatives to genuine fur, and sourcing from major textile-producing countries means Section 301 tariff exposure is a relevant consideration for many importers.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Both the fabric and finished articles fall within this heading at the 4-digit level, but they are typically separated at the HTS subheading level with different duty rates. Importers should confirm whether their shipment consists of fabric by the meter or completed garments, as misclassifying yardage as a finished article (or vice versa) is a common error that affects both duty liability and quota applicability.
CBP may use physical examination, fiber analysis, or laboratory testing to distinguish artificial fur (textile pile or other synthetic material) from genuine dressed furskin. Importers should retain supplier documentation — including fiber content certifications and manufacturing records — to support the declared classification, particularly for articles where the visual appearance closely mimics genuine fur.
