Classification of raw mink furskins under HS 4301.10
Raw mink furskins are classified under HS code 4301.10 because they represent the primary state of the pelt after being removed from the animal but before undergoing any tanning or dressing processes. Chapter 43 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to furskins and artificial fur, with heading 4301 specifically covering raw furskins. The classification is determined by the biological origin (mink) and the state of the product (raw). To qualify for this code, the skins must be whole, though they may be with or without the head, tail, or paws. The preservation methods allowed under this heading include drying or salting, which prevent decay during transport without altering the fundamental structure of the skin or hair. Once the skin undergoes any process that makes it supple or ready for use in garment manufacturing, such as tanning, it moves to a different heading. This classification is essential for customs authorities to monitor the trade of animal products and ensure compliance with environmental and veterinary regulations.

Codes often confused with 4301.10
Common mistake. A frequent error is classifying these items under HS code 4302.11. This code is reserved for mink skins that have been tanned or dressed. The distinction lies in the chemical treatment; if the skin has been made soft and pliable through tanning, it is no longer considered raw. Another common mistake is using 4303.10, which is for finished articles of apparel made from mink. Raw skins are industrial inputs, whereas 4303 items are finished consumer goods.

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).
