Last updated: August 2026 dataBleached, dyed, or otherwise processed bird skins and parts retaining their feathers or down — along with finished articles made from feathers or down — fall under this heading, which is distinct from raw feathers and down classified in Chapter 5. China dominates US imports, with South Africa and France also among the leading suppliers, reflecting both commercial down-product manufacturing and specialty decorative feather trade. The US schedule breaks out processed bird skins and parts (6701000000), finished feather or down articles (6701003000), and a residual skins-and-parts line (6701006000). Importers should verify that no CITES-listed bird species are involved, as protected-species documentation requirements can affect admissibility regardless of the degree of processing.

Chapter 5 (heading 0505) covers raw, cleaned, or simply prepared feathers and down. Heading 6701 applies only after further processing — bleaching, dyeing, or fabrication into finished articles — so the degree of processing is the key classification dividing line.
Yes. If the source bird species is listed under CITES (e.g., certain parrots or birds of prey), import permits and export documentation from the country of origin are required regardless of how extensively the skins or feathers have been processed. Consult a licensed customs broker or USFWS for species-specific admissibility guidance.
