Import Tips
• Verify CITES permits if from endangered mink species; most are tariff-free but require wildlife declarations
• Document origin and species clearly to avoid misclassification as dressed furskins under Chapter 43 headings
• Inspect for proper preservation to prevent rejection due to spoilage during transit
