Last updated: April 2026 dataRaw whole furskins not elsewhere specified — including those retained with head, tail, or paws — occupy a residual classification that captures species not broken out in more specific SITC headings, such as certain wild-caught or farmed pelts outside the mink, fox, or rabbit categories. Importers should be aware that CITES appendix listings govern many wild-sourced furskins, requiring permits and documentation before US Customs and Border Protection will release the shipment. Classification into the correct species-specific heading versus this residual code is a frequent audit trigger, making pre-entry species verification essential.

A furskin is classified here only when no more specific SITC heading covers its species. If the pelt belongs to a category with its own dedicated code — such as mink, fox, or rabbit — that specific heading takes precedence. Importers should confirm species identity with documentation to avoid misclassification.
Wild-sourced furskins from species listed under CITES require export permits from the country of origin and US import permits issued by the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Even non-CITES species may require country-of-origin certificates and compliance with the Lacey Act, which prohibits trade in wildlife taken in violation of foreign law.
