Import Tips
• Chicks must originate from National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) certified flocks to meet US avian disease standards
• Use IATA-approved chick boxes with proper humidity control (55-65%) during air transport
• Pre-clear with state veterinarian offices; some require 30-day quarantine upon arrival
