4302.11.00.20 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 4302.11.00.20, encompasses dressed whole furskins of mink that are not assembled, and specifically excludes those classified as "Kolinsky" under 4302.11.00.10. The "dressed" designation indicates that the raw skins have undergone tanning or dressing processes to preserve them and prepare them for further manufacture or use. This includes skins that retain their original shape, with or without the inclusion of the head, tail, or paws. The key defining characteristic is that these are complete, individual skins of mink, ready for use in the production of garments, accessories, or other finished goods.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its focus on whole, undressed mink skins, differentiating it from assembled furskin articles or those made from pieces and cuttings which fall under different HTS subheadings. Furthermore, the exclusion of Kolinsky mink specifically targets a particular type of mink known for its fine, soft fur and distinct color, suggesting that this broader category captures other varieties of mink skins not identified by that specific term.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 4302.11.00.20 is final for qualifying whole, dressed mink skins that do not meet the criteria for Kolinsky. Importers and exporters should ensure that the skins are indeed whole, dressed, of mink, and do not fall under any other specific exclusions to correctly utilize this classification.
