About furskins; raw, of fox, whole, with or without head, tail or paws

HS code 430160 covers the trade of raw, whole furskins of foxes, with or without their head, tail, or paws. This industry is a vital component of the global fur trade, which supplies raw materials for the manufacturing of a wide range of fur-based products, from high-end fashion items to functional outdoor gear. The demand for these furskins is driven by both the luxury goods market and the need for durable, insulating materials in colder climates.

Production process

The production of raw fox furskins typically involves the trapping or farming of foxes, followed by the careful removal and preparation of the pelts. Trappers or fur farmers must ensure the pelts are properly handled and dried to maintain their quality and condition. This may involve techniques such as fleshing, stretching, and drying the skins to remove excess fat and moisture, ensuring the fur retains its softness and luster.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of raw fox furskins include live foxes, either trapped from the wild or raised on fur farms. Specialized equipment, such as traps, skinning tools, and drying racks, are also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to handle the animals and process the pelts efficiently and ethically.
