The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection facility (HERD) will be a calorimetric experiment on board the China Space Station. Starting from 2027, HERD will perform the first direct measurement of cosmic rays in the PeV region and the gamma-ray full-sky survey from 100~MeV. The detector will be equipped with a scintillating-fiber tracker (FIT) read out with silicon photomultipliers. A miniature of a FIT sector, called MiniFIT, was designed, built and tested with particle beams at CERN. The FIT design, together with the design and physics performance of MiniFIT will be presented in this contribution.
