Classification of mink pelts under HS 4301.10
Mink pelts are classified under HS code 4301.10, which specifically covers raw furskins of mink. According to the Chapter 43 legal notes, "raw furskins" include skins in the state they are removed from the animal, as well as those that have been cleaned and preserved for transport by drying, salting, or cold storage. However, they must not have undergone any tanning or dressing processes that would make them soft and pliable for garment manufacturing. The classification is determined by the biological origin of the skin and its state of preservation. As mink is a primary commodity in the fur trade, the Harmonized System provides this specific subheading to monitor trade volumes and ensure compliance with international animal welfare and trade regulations.

Codes often confused with 4301.10
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 4302.11, which covers tanned or dressed mink skins. The distinction lies in whether the skin has been chemically treated to be preserved permanently for use in apparel. Another error involves HS code 4303.10, which is for finished articles of apparel made from mink fur. Finally, synthetic or "faux" fur should never be classified here; it belongs under HS code 4304.00.

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).
