About furskins; tanned or dressed, of mink, whole, with or without head, tail or paws, not assembled

HS code 430211 covers the trade of tanned or dressed mink furskins, which are an important raw material for the global fashion and luxury goods industries. Mink is a highly sought-after fur due to its soft, durable, and high-quality properties. The global mink fur trade is a multi-billion dollar industry, with major producers and exporters located in countries like Denmark, China, and the United States.

Production process

The production of mink furskins involves several key steps. First, mink are farmed and their pelts are harvested. The pelts then undergo a tanning process to preserve the fur and make it suitable for use in manufacturing. This involves cleaning, degreasing, pickling, and tanning the raw pelts. Finally, the tanned furskins may be dyed, sheared, or otherwise finished to meet the specific requirements of fashion designers and manufacturers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the mink fur industry include live mink, tanning chemicals and equipment, and skilled labor. Mink farming requires specialized facilities, feed, and veterinary care. Tanning operations need access to chemicals like salts, acids, and dyes, as well as industrial machinery for processing the pelts. Skilled furriers and technicians are also essential for the finishing and quality control of the final furskin products.
