Sourcing this category from India

Chapter 43 covers furskins, artificial fur and manufactures thereof. Trade in genuine fur is small and ethically constrained, and India's activity in this chapter is minimal. The chapter is used to classify raw and tanned furskins, plates and finished fur articles, with separate lines distinguishing natural fur from artificial fur products.

How to read this code

43 is the two-digit HS chapter for furskins and artificial fur. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many raw hides, leather, fur & travel goods lines — check our import guides for your market.
