U.S. exports of leather & furs (End-Use 12650) totaled $44.6M in July 2026, traded with 83 countries.

Last updated: July 2026 data

Leather and fur exports from the US serve luxury goods manufacturers, footwear producers, and garment makers worldwide, with tannage method and hide origin being the primary commercial differentiators. Fur articles derived from species listed under CITES — such as certain wild cats, otters, or crocodilians — require USFWS export permits, and the Marine Mammal Protection Act imposes additional restrictions on marine mammal skins. Buyers in the EU and other markets may also require documentation of humane trapping compliance under their own import regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which US agency oversees export permits for CITES-listed fur species?

The US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) administers CITES export permits for wildlife products, including furs from listed species. Exporters must obtain the appropriate CITES Appendix permit before shipment and ensure the foreign country's CITES Management Authority will accept the import.

Does the EU impose special import conditions on US fur exports?

Yes — the EU's leghold-trap regulation requires that fur from certain wild-caught species originate from countries with trapping standards equivalent to EU or agreed international standards. US exporters should confirm that their supply chain documentation satisfies EU import conditions to avoid rejection at the EU border.
