Halakhah for Chullin 272:30
וכר' יהודה בן בתירה בדברי תורה דתניא ר' יהודה בן בתירה אומר
But since he draws an analogy by means of the common expression 'giving' from the priestly dues, he should also draw an analogy by means of this common expression 'giving' from terumah: just as terumah obtains only in the Land [of Israel] but not outside it so the law of the first of the fleece obtains only in the Land [of Israel] but not outside it.
Sefer HaChinukh
And this commandment is practiced by males and females, Israelites and Levites, whether in front of the [Temple] or not in front of the [Temple]. But [it is practiced] only in the Land of Israel, and not outside of the Land; and like Rav Nachman bar Yitschak said in Chullin 136b in the chapter [entitled] Reishit HaGez, "The world acts like the three elders: Like Rabbi Eelayai in the first shearing, etc." - meaning to say that he exempted outside the Land, as it is found there. And one who transgresses it and did not give his first shearing to the priest - when he has shearing that is fit, according to the matter that we wrote - has nullified this positive commandment.
