Import Tips
• Secure APHIS import permits in advance and provide proof of flock health screening for Newcastle disease and avian influenza
• Package eggs in protective cartons to prevent breakage, as damaged shells may lead to rejection or reclassification
• Label shipments clearly with species origin and 'fresh eggs - not for hatching' to comply with FDA and USDA labeling rules
