Switzerland fur trade overview
Switzerland’s trade in raw furskins is neglible, with imports at around just USD 13,000 and exports around USD 70,000 in 2025.
Imports of tanned or dressed furskin were around USD 2,473,000 in 2025, demonstrating a notable decline in the past decade.
Trade in furskin apparel is more significant with imports of USD 26,259,000 in 2025 and exports of USD 7,571,000.
In 2025, China was the biggest exporter of tanned or dressed furskins to Switzerland at USD 1,190,000 and the third largest exporter of furskin apparel at USD 1,679,000. With Switzerland’s import ban on “cruelly” produced fur or fur products, this raises questions about how the ban will be enforced if it relies on fur industry certification schemes. In addition to concerns around weaknesses in compliance and auditing, certification schemes are largely absent in countries like China.
