Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits for wild mink species as they are regulated under Appendix III; verify origin documentation
• Ensure furskins are raw and undressed to avoid reclassification under 4302; provide furrier-use certification
• Declare species accurately to prevent penalties; common pitfall is mislabeling wild vs. farmed mink
