Furskins, tanned or dressed, of mink, whole, with or without head, tail or paws, not assembled.
Classification of tanned mink pelts under HS 4302.11
Whole tanned mink pelts are classified under HS code 4302.11. This classification follows the structure of Chapter 43, which deals with furskins. Heading 4302 covers furskins that have undergone the tanning or dressing process, which distinguishes them from raw furskins. Subheading 4302.11 is specific to mink (Mustela vison). To fall under this code, the pelt must be whole, though it may still have the head, tail, or paws attached. The critical factor is that the pelt has been processed for preservation and use in manufacturing but has not yet been assembled into a garment or part of a garment. Mink pelts are among the most highly regulated and specifically categorized furskins due to their value in the global trade. The tanning process involves several stages, including fleshing, pickling, and oiling, which transforms the raw skin into a stable material. HS code 4302.11 is reserved for these whole skins. If the skins were merely dried or salted without being tanned, they would fall under 4301.10. The not assembled requirement means the skins must be individual units; once they are sewn together into linings or strips, they are classified elsewhere.

Codes often confused with 4302.11
Common mistake. HS code 4301.10 is often used by mistake; this code is for raw mink skins that have not been tanned or dressed. The distinction is critical for duty rates. Another error is 4302.30, which applies if multiple mink skins have been sewn together into plates or mats. Furthermore, if the mink pelt is part of a finished garment, it must be classified under 4303.10, which covers articles of apparel made of furskin. Using the wrong code can lead to significant customs delays.

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).
