Import Tips
• Obtain a VS 17-29 Import Health Certificate from USDA APHIS prior to shipment to verify disease-free status
• Ensure compliance with state quarantine regulations; some areas restrict guinea fowl due to avian influenza risks
• Avoid misclassification by providing breed-specific documentation to distinguish from turkeys or game birds
