4301.10.00.20 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 4301.10.00.20, specifically covers raw mink furskins that are presented as whole pelts, regardless of whether the head, tail, or paws are attached. These are furskins intended for use by furriers in the creation of finished goods such as garments, accessories, or trimmings. The key criterion for inclusion is the raw, untanned state of the mink fur, along with its form as a complete, wearable pelt.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 4301.10.00.10, which covers wild mink furskins. Category 4301.10.00.20 therefore exclusively applies to mink furskins derived from farmed animals. The distinction lies in the origin of the mink, with "wild" indicating pelts sourced from animals living in their natural habitat, and "other" (in this context, effectively farmed) referring to those raised in captivity for their fur.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. The classification is precise, and goods falling into this category will proceed directly to duty assessment based on the final value and destination. Classification professionals should ensure the furskins are indeed raw, whole mink pelts, and then confirm their origin (wild vs. farmed) to correctly apply the appropriate tariff rate.
