Import Tips
• Obtain APHIS VS 17-29 import permit for all poultry; confirm avian influenza-free certification from origin country
• Declare net weight accurately including giblets if present, as US notes disallow bone/fat deductions
• Watch for seasonal quota limits on poultry imports; pre-clear with CBP for high-volume shipments
