Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits for mink as Appendix II species; verify origin certificates to comply with wildlife regulations
• Label with fur origin country and content per FTC guidelines; declare value accurately to avoid undervaluation penalties
• Inspect for prohibited dyeing if claiming natural fur status; common pitfall is misclassifying trimmed pieces as parts
