Last updated: April 2026 dataTanned and dressed mink pelts at the whole-skin stage — processed but not yet cut or sewn into assembled plates or garments — are among the most commercially significant inputs in the luxury fur trade. The US schedule distinguishes kolinsky mink (4302110010) from other mink (4302110020), a species-level split that matters because kolinsky is a weasel-family animal rather than a true mink and commands different end-use applications, particularly in high-end artist brushes as well as fur garments. Greece is the leading supplier to the US under this heading, reflecting the concentration of European mink dressing and auction activity in that country, with Cambodia and Thailand also notable sources. Importers should verify that CITES documentation accompanies any species subject to Appendix-level controls.

Kolinsky (Mustela sibirica) is a Siberian weasel, not a true mink (Neovison vison or Mustela lutreola). The US tariff schedule separates them at the 10-digit level because their commercial applications and sourcing differ. Misidentifying kolinsky as standard mink — or vice versa — can result in classification errors and potential penalties.
A 'not assembled' skin is a single, complete pelt that has been tanned and dressed but has not been joined to other skins to form a plate, stole, or garment panel. Once pelts are sewn or otherwise joined together, they move to the assembled furskins heading. This distinction is critical because the two stages carry different tariff treatments.
