Import Tips
• Obtain CITES export/import permits as mink is regulated under Appendix II; verify origin certificates
• Document tanning process and natural color certification to prove 'not dyed' status for classification
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring assembled skins, which shift to 4303; inspect for any added materials
