Duty rates on travel goods range from 5-20%, with Section 301 List 4A adding 7.5% on Chinese-origin leather products. Importers must comply with the Lacey Act for exotic leather products and CITES permits for endangered species derivatives. Animal welfare regulations increasingly affect fur product imports.
