About tanned or dressed furskins (including heads, tails, paws, other pieces, cuttings), unassembled, or assembled (without addition of other materials), excluding those of heading no. 4303

HS code 4302 covers tanned or dressed furskins, including various parts and cuttings, that are unassembled or assembled without the addition of other materials. This industry plays a significant role in the global fashion and textile sectors, providing essential raw materials for the production of high-end apparel, accessories, and other luxury goods. The trade in furskins is a vital component of the broader 4401 Fur and leather industry, which is a key contributor to the international economy.

Production process

The production of tanned or dressed furskins typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw furskins are collected and undergo a tanning process to preserve the fur and skin. This may involve chemical treatments, drying, and other techniques to ensure the desired texture and durability. The tanned furskins are then further processed, which can include cutting, trimming, and assembling the various parts into finished or semi-finished products, ready for use in downstream industries.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 4302 industry include raw furskins, which are sourced from various animal species, as well as specialized tanning and processing chemicals. Additionally, the industry relies on machinery and equipment for the tanning, cutting, and assembly of the furskins. Skilled labor, particularly in the areas of fur handling and processing, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 4302 industry are tanned or dressed furskins, which can be in the form of whole skins, pieces, or cuttings. These products are then consumed by various downstream industries, such as 4303 Articles of apparel, clothing accessories, and other articles of furskin and 9508 Fur-skin articles, where they are used in the production of high-end clothing, accessories, and other luxury goods. The 4302 industry also generates byproducts, such as fur trimmings and waste, which may be utilized in other industries.
