Chapter 43 classification notes

Chapter 43 covers a heavily CITES-affected category. Wild-caught fur (lynx, leopard, ocelot) requires CITES permits. EU + US fur-trade restrictions cover specific species (cat / dog fur prohibited in EU since 2009).

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Fur-trimmed coats vs. fur coats — Chapter 62 (apparel of textile fabric) vs. Chapter 43 (apparel of fur).
