Production process

The production of tanned or dressed furskins involves a multi-step process. First, the raw furskins are obtained from various animal sources, such as mink, fox, or rabbit. These skins are then subjected to a tanning process, which involves the use of chemicals and specialized techniques to preserve the fur and enhance its appearance. Once tanned, the skins may be dyed or otherwise treated to achieve the desired color and texture. Finally, the skins are assembled, either as whole pieces or as cut-outs, to create the final product.

The main inputs required for the production of tanned or dressed furskins (HS code 430230) include the raw furskins themselves, which are typically sourced from fur farms or wild animal populations. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of chemicals, such as tanning agents, dyes, and preservatives, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the various processing steps. Skilled labor, particularly in the areas of tanning, dyeing, and assembly, is also a critical input for this industry.
