Last updated: April 2026 dataFurskin offcuts — heads, tails, paws, and other pieces or cuttings that result from pelt processing — are traded as unassembled raw material for trim, accessories, and lower-cost fur articles. The 'not assembled' distinction separates these pieces from fur plates or garment sections and positions them as upstream inputs rather than finished goods. Because these cuttings derive from the same regulated species as whole pelts, CITES documentation obligations follow the species of origin regardless of the piece size, and importers should not assume that small cuttings are exempt from wildlife trade controls.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CITES controls apply to specimens of listed species regardless of size or form — a tail or paw from a CITES-listed species requires the same permit documentation as a whole pelt. The exemption threshold under CITES is very narrow (personal effects in limited quantities), and commercial shipments of cuttings from regulated species must be accompanied by valid export and import permits.
Fox tails are used in fashion accessories, keychains, and trim on outerwear. Rabbit paws have historically appeared in novelty items and trim. Mink tails and paws are incorporated into fur coats as decorative elements or used in lower-cost garments where whole pelts are cost-prohibitive. These cuttings serve a distinct market segment from whole pelts and are often sourced from pelt-processing facilities rather than directly from farms or trappers.
