US buyers need to be on the lookout for the presence of sealskin, which is illegal to import into the USA.
Oftentimes sellers mis-identify sealskin as various other sorts of fur. I think it's just them not knowing.
In any case here's a lovely vintage sporran with the distinctive oval Made In Scotland Real Leather stamp on the back.
As you can see it has a sealskin front. The seller just says "fur". Sporran and shipping under $50 but of course illegal for US buyers.

EDIT: another sealskin sporran (this time so marked) with belt and sgian for under $100 BIN for non-US buyers; under the radar due to the seller listing it as a "sporn"
