Artificial 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.
