I'm heading to NYC in a few weeks and I wanted to bring a pair of Coyote Fur Mittens as a gift for my buddy there. I'm gonna carry-on cuz I'm only there for 4 days. Any chance I'll get hassled at the border or get the mitts confiscated? I recently read an article about a CDN woman who had her sealskin purse confiscated and she was fined $250.
My clients travel back to the U.S. with fresh coyote hides with no problem. Some states, at least Ca. don't allow wolf imports and the ones that do require a CITES permit, but you should be good with coyote fur products.

You should check first. Lady from back home just had a seal skin purse worth a few hundred bucks confiscated/stolen by US border officials. Apparently the US thinks harp seals numbering 6 million head are endangered!
I've been reading online about the Dog & Cat Fur Protection Act that states that any fur from a dog or cat is forbidden to enter the states.....it was to forbid those Chinese knock-offs claiming to be mink/rabbit but were actually dogs or cats....the problem is that is doesn't specifically clarify that only domestic dog/cat furs are forbidden not all canines/felines....just hoping I don't come across some ignorant customs agent who thinks this is considered a 'dog'
