Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not dyed
Undyed raccoon whole skins fall under the same heading but different subheading 4302.19.4530, typically lower duty.
If assembled without other materials
Assembled raccoon furskins (e.g., sewn together but not into garments) move to 4302.30, changing the tariff structure.
If sewn into garment parts
If assembled into clothing articles or parts like collars, it becomes heading 4303 for apparel of furskins.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain CITES permits if applicable, as raccoon fur may require documentation for endangered species compliance despite common status
• Ensure dyeing process is documented to confirm classification as 'dyed' rather than natural, avoiding reclassification to undyed subheadings
• Verify skins are whole and unassembled; adding lining or sewing into panels shifts to 4303, increasing duties
