U.S. exports of reptile skins, tanned or crust, not further prepared (HS 410640) totaled $91K in June 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Tanned and crust reptile skins — covering crocodilian, snake, and lizard hides — are governed by CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) as well as US Lacey Act requirements, making species identification, permit documentation, and chain-of-custody records essential compliance elements for every shipment. Italy leads US imports under this single-line heading (4106400000), functioning as a major processing and re-export hub for luxury leather goods inputs, with South Africa and Kenya supplying crocodilian skins from managed-ranching programs. Importers must obtain valid CITES export permits from the country of origin and CITES import permits from the US Fish & Wildlife Service before goods can be released.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
All commercially traded reptile skins listed under CITES Appendix I or II require a CITES export permit from the exporting country and a CITES import permit issued by the US Fish & Wildlife Service prior to importation. The permits must accompany the shipment and be presented at the port of entry. Species listed on Appendix I face the most restrictive controls and may be prohibited for commercial trade. Importers should work with a licensed customs broker and a wildlife trade compliance specialist to ensure all permits are in order before shipment.
Italy frequently appears as the country of export for tanned reptile skins because Italian luxury tanneries process raw or semi-processed skins sourced from Africa, Asia, and South America. For CITES purposes, the country of origin of the animal (where it was harvested or ranched) governs permit requirements, not the country of tanning. Importers must trace the chain of custody back to the original harvest country and ensure all intervening CITES re-export certificates are valid and on file.
