Fur The North runs a trapline, an in-house tannery and a sewing room at one Copper Cliff address in Greater Sudbury, turning beaver, coyote, wolf, seal, silver fox and polar bear hides into fur mittens and short-cuff mitts, trapper-style hats, fur vests and hand muffs, plus throws, pillows, Christmas stockings and mink teddy bears for the house, and selling tanned pelts, off-cut boxes and cowhide leather to other sewers.

Fur mittens, trapper-style hats, vests and hand muffs are articles of apparel and clothing accessories of furskin, HTS 4303.10.00 on the CBP Section 338 list, so a 50% duty has sat on top of every pair Fur The North sends to an American customer since August 22, 2026, on a beaver mitt priced at "$425.00 CAD" before the duty. The tanned beaver and otter pelts it sells to other sewers join the list on September 15, 2026 under HTS 4302.19.30 at the same 50%, and the Shopify storefront still offers a "United States" region priced in "USD". · content.govdelivery.com, Aug 22, 2026
