The chinese gotta be scratching their heads over how north americans can produce wild animal pelts so cheap. They gotta be thinking, we couldn't produce pelts that cheap with child or slave labor? They cant be that smart.......if they would just hold out a bit more they would get our fur for half of what we are getting now.

Just curious to what smarter people than me figure will happen to our fur market if retaliatory tariffs are imposed on goods we export (including fur)? I'm mainly thinking of China of course, which I believe is still the dominant player on the international fur market scene.
This is assuming that Trump makes good on his promise to levy heavy tariffs on incoming Chinese goods. Good question Peeler, I wonder what tariffs are already in place on China fur imports? I seem to recall that the most recent "boom" around 2013 happened when some of the big China buyers figured a way to get around the tariffs? And the "bust" that occurred shortly after was when they were caught and those tariffs were enforced?

If i remember right, those tariffs are between 15 to 30 percent for wild furskins and were much lower for minkskins. I thought the import of rawskins got banned during covid?

If I recall correctly some of the bigger players in the fur market over there got sent to prison with lengthy sentences.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Don't worry, be happy. You will own nothing and be happy.  That's the way it's looking. The pieces are falling into place.

with 2 dollar rats and 3 dollar coon a 25% tariff wont make or break anyone. china dont buy the high end fur. the coyote and beaver" boom" was north america driven. good cats go to europe Maybe the 25% tariff is one reason they don't buy high end fur, instead focusing on those 2-3 dollar skins.

What never ceases to amaze me is that $20-$40 worth of beaver fur gets turned into a $200 hat or a $400 pair of gauntlets.. apparently I need to learn to tan and sew Since i do both, i can tell you the trapping, skinning, and put up takes more skill and work and danger than the sewing part.
