4301.10.00.10 - Wild

This HTS category, 4301.10.00.10, specifically covers raw mink furskins that are considered suitable for furriers' use. This includes whole mink skins, regardless of whether the head, tail, or paws are attached. The "wild" designation indicates that these furskins are sourced from mink that have been hunted or trapped in their natural environment, as opposed to those raised on fur farms.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4301.10.00.20 ("Other"), by the specific type of animal. While both fall under the broader heading for raw furskins, this subcategory is solely for mink. The sibling category would encompass raw furskins of other species not otherwise specified.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 4301.10.00.10 is on the definitive identification of the raw furskin as originating from a mink and being in a condition suitable for processing into finished fur articles. The key criterion is the material itself and its intended use in the furrier trade.
