Chordata is a member of the classification level phylum (just beneath kingdom) and essentially means "vertebrates," so yes, ferrets do fall under the chordatacategory.
The short version of the classification of ferrets follows:

Phylum Chordata (Vertebrates)
Class Mammalia (Mammals)
Order Carnivora (Carnivores)
Family Mustelidae (Mustelids)*
Genus Mustela (Weasels)**
Species M. putorius (European polecats)
Subspecies M. p. furo (Domestic ferret)
*The mustelid family includes otters, badgers, and weasels, and was once thought to include skunks.
**The weasel genus includes weasels and similar creatures such as polecats, certain minks, stoats, ermines, and ferrets.
