Importing Animal Furs

Lads anyone have any information on importing animal furs from the USA? My Mrs ordered a raccoon pelt from US, but got an email to say that importing animal furs to Ireland are prohibited, and wouldn't ship the pelt.

Now, i was aware that importing trophies etc, were being banned in UK, but didn't hear anything about Ireland doing the same.

Should take a read of this.

There are import forms, vet checks, custom checks, declarations, etc. that, apparently, need to be done before importing.

Thank you Cass. Nothing seems to be just straight forward these days

I reckon that the problem is more on the US side with Fish& Game and export permits being more hassle than what the game is worth to the seller. IE a 50 dollar racoon pelt Vs 300 dollars with of time and paperwork and fees?

Maybe one of the fly tying suppliers might be able to help you. They are constantly importing furs and feathers from everywhere.

A I honestly won't bother trying again lad. Looks like too much hassle for getting a wall hanger. Wouldn't mind, only I got a skunk pelt a few years back, without any hassle.
