Furskins, tanned or dressed, of mink, whole, with or without head, tail or paws, not assembled.
Classification of dressed mink furskins under HS 4302.11
Dressed mink furskins are classified under HS code 4302.11, a specific designation within the Harmonized System for one of the most commercially significant types of fur. This code applies to whole skins of mink that have been tanned or dressed. The process of dressing mink involves several stages, including fleshing, tanning, and finishing, which transform the raw pelt into a soft, durable material suitable for high-end apparel. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), products are classified based on their specific characteristics; since mink is explicitly mentioned in subheading 4302.11, it takes precedence over the more general 4302.19. The skins must be 'not assembled,' meaning they are individual pelts rather than plates, mats, or strips sewn together. This distinction is vital for determining the correct tariff rates and ensuring compliance with international trade regulations regarding animal products. The presence of the head, tail, or paws does not change this classification as long as the skin remains whole.

Codes often confused with 4302.11
Common mistake. Mink furskins are often misclassified under 4302.19, which is the 'other' category for whole furskins. However, because mink has its own specific subheading (4302.11), it must be used. Another common error is using 4301.10 for raw mink skins. If the skin has been tanned, it cannot stay in 4301. Additionally, if the mink skins have been sewn together into a lining or a garment, they must be classified under 4303.10. Scraps and pieces of mink (not whole skins) that have been dressed should be classified under 4302.20 rather than 4302.11.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
