US Tariffs on Raw Hides and Skins from Canada — 10% (2026)

Importers sourcing raw hides and skins from Canada face specific tariff considerations, with approximately $783B in total bilateral trade.

As of March 2026, raw hides and skins imports from Canada face a base tariff rate of 10% under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. This rate replaced the previous IEEPA reciprocal tariff following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in V.O.S. Selections Inc. v. United States on February 20, 2026.

Under the Trade Act of 1974, Section 122 tariffs are limited to 150 days. The current 10% rate expires around July 24, 2026. Congressional action would be required to extend these tariffs beyond that date.

Raw Hides and Skins (HTS Chapter 41) carry an average MFN duty rate of 2.4% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Canada.

Canada is party to the USMCA, which may provide preferential or duty-free access for qualifying raw hides and skins. Importers should verify rules of origin requirements to take advantage of preferential rates.

Key products in HTS Chapter 41 imported from Canada include Bovine leather, Sheepskin leather, Goatskin leather, Reptile leather, Chamois leather, and Patent leather.
