U.S. exports of hair & waste materials (End-Use 12630) totaled $51.1M in April 2026, traded with 100 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAnimal and human hair waste — including combings, clippings, and processing residues — moves in US export trade primarily as a raw material input for felt, brush, and specialty textile manufacturing. Buyers abroad value consistent fiber length and cleanliness grades, so proper baling and moisture control are standard shipper requirements. Export documentation should accurately distinguish animal species and processing state, as some hair types intersect with CITES-regulated species controls.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — hair or fiber derived from certain protected species (e.g., some wild felids or vicuña) can trigger CITES permit requirements. Exporters should verify species origin and consult a licensed customs broker or USFWS before shipment.
Standard export documentation includes an Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing via AES, a commercial invoice specifying species and processing state, and — where applicable — any CITES or USDA APHIS permits. Accurate species identification on the invoice reduces the risk of delays at foreign customs.
