Artificial Fur Rugs Faux Wolf

Artificial fur rugs imitating wolf fur, constructed from synthetic fibers gummed to a textile backing, are classified under tariff item 4304.00.00 as articles of artificial fur. These rugs are distinct from traditional carpets of Chapter 57 because their pile is formed by gummed fibers rather than woven or tufted construction. The artificial fur definition in Chapter Note 5 covers fibers gummed or sewn to a backing, which applies here.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Ensure the rug's backing is clearly a textile or leather material with fibers gummed on, as woven or knitted imitation furs fall under Chapter 58 or 60

β€’ Declare the rug as 'artificial fur rug' with the fiber composition (e.g

β€’ polyester) to avoid CBSA reclassification

β€’ If the rug has a non-slip rubber backing, confirm it does not alter the essential character, which could shift classification
