Last updated: August 2026 dataUnassembled whole mink pelts — traded with or without head, tail, and paws — are a globally auctioned raw material whose price benchmarks are set at major fur auction houses in Copenhagen, Helsinki, and Toronto. The 'not assembled' condition is the critical classification criterion: once pelts are sewn together into plates or garment sections, they move to a different trade heading. US import volumes in this category are sensitive to fashion-industry demand cycles and to evolving retailer fur-free commitments, which have reshaped sourcing patterns in recent years.

A furskin is considered assembled once individual pelts have been joined — by sewing, gluing, or other means — into plates, strips, or garment-ready sections. A single whole pelt, even if the head, tail, or paws are attached, remains 'not assembled.' The assembly threshold is the joining of multiple pelts into a composite piece.
Mink (Neovison vison) is not currently listed under CITES, so no CITES permit is required for farmed mink pelts. However, importers should confirm the species and farming origin on documentation, as wild-caught or hybrid species could trigger different regulatory treatment. Standard US customs entry requirements, including country-of-origin marking, apply.
