U.S. exports of raw reptile skins, fresh or preserved, not tanned (HS 410320) totaled $7.4M in July 2026, traded with 5 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRaw reptile skins — covering crocodilians, pythons, monitor lizards, and other species — are among the most tightly regulated raw materials in international trade because many species are listed under CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), requiring export permits from the country of origin and import permits issued by the US Fish & Wildlife Service before entry. Two 10-digit lines (4103201000 and 4103203000) separate non-pretanned from other-than-vegetable-pretanned material. Colombia and Spain appear among the top US suppliers, with Malaysia and South Africa also in the mix — a distribution that reflects both legal ranching programs for caiman and crocodile in Latin America and re-export flows through European trading hubs. Misidentification of species at entry is a significant compliance risk, as protected and non-protected species can be visually similar.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Most commercially traded reptile species — including caimans, crocodiles, pythons, and monitor lizards — are listed on CITES Appendix I or II. Importers must present a valid CITES export permit from the country of origin and, for Appendix I species, a US Fish & Wildlife Service import permit. Shipments without proper CITES documentation are subject to seizure and civil or criminal penalties under the Lacey Act and the Endangered Species Act.
When skins are re-exported through a third country, the importer needs both the original CITES export permit from the country of harvest and a CITES re-export certificate issued by the re-exporting country (Spain, in this example). The re-export certificate must reference the original permit number. US Fish & Wildlife Service inspectors at the port of entry will verify the chain of documentation, so importers should obtain and retain the full permit trail before the shipment departs.
