4302.11.00.10 - Kolinsky 🖩

This HTS classification covers dressed or tanned whole furskins of mink, specifically those that are imported without their heads, tails, or paws attached, and are not assembled with other materials. This category is specifically for the raw, prepared mink skins themselves, ready for further manufacturing into garments, accessories, or other articles. The emphasis is on the unadulterated nature of the furskin, meaning no additional materials have been incorporated into its construction beyond what is inherent to the dressed skin.

Within the broader category of "Whole skins, with or without head, tail or paws, not assembled," this subcategory is distinct from "Other" (4302.11.00.20). While "Other" would encompass whole dressed mink skins that *do* include their heads, tails, or paws, or are assembled with components other than additional materials, this code is exclusively for those skins that have been stripped of these external parts or are presented in a manner that excludes them from the base skin. This precise distinction is critical for accurate import duty assessment.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on identifying a whole, dressed or tanned mink skin that is presented without its head, tail, or paws, and without any added materials beyond the dressing or tanning process. Examples would include individual prepared mink skins from which these parts have been removed prior to import, intended for use in a variety of fur articles.
