Shipping to Canada is currently strictly prohibited from my state due to the AI outbreak last year. I'll revisit that avenue when the ban is lifted.

This is why I don't ship to VA.
Virginia
A. Pullorum-Typhoid
Hatching eggs and poultry shall not be imported into the Commonwealth of Virginia unless such eggs or poultry originate exclusively from flocks participating in the
National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) or the National Turkey Improvement Plan (NTIP) (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 9, Chapter 1, and Parts 1 to
199). These programs shall be under supervision of the Official State Agency of NPIP or NTIP, the livestock health official, or other authorized government agency
of the state of origin certifying them to be free of pullorum-typhoid.
B. Mycoplasma gallisepticum
Hatching eggs and poultry shall not be imported into the Commonwealth of Virginia unless such eggs or poultry originate from flocks that are designated free of
Mycoplasma gallisepticum by the livestock health official of the state of origin. Each importer of hatching eggs or poultry into Virginia shall secure from the State
Veterinarian an approval number, after having provided evidence that the flocks of origin are free of Mycoplasma gallisepticum. This approval number shall appear
on shipping labels or containers of each lot shipped into Virginia.
C. Avian Influenza
Except as provided below no person may bring or ship to Virginia any chicken, turkey, waterfowl, game bird or other avian species that is susceptible to Avian
Influenza (hereby referred to as subject avian species), or hatching egg unless:
1. The subject avian species or hatching egg is first tested and found negative for avian influenza (H5 and H7), or comes from a flock that
has first been tested (20 birds per house minimum, or for flocks of 500 or less, 20 birds per flock minimum as long as all houses and
pens are represented) and found negative for avian influenza (H5 and H7), within 10 days before the subject avian species or hatching
egg enters Virginia; and
2. The results of the test for avian influenza are recorded on a health certificate signed by an accredited veterinarian in the state of origin
or on a report issued by a laboratory approved by any state or federal animal health authority.
In testing for Avian Influenza, the accredited veterinarian shall use only the AGID, ELISA, Directigen, PCR or virus isolation test methods
in a laboratory approved by a state or federal animal health authority.
Nothing in this proclamation shall apply to:
1. Any subject avian species or hatching egg passing directly through Virginia to another state without being removed from its primary
container;
2. Any hatching egg, day-old chicken, day-old game bird, or day-old turkey, so long as the flock from which the hatching egg, day-old
chicken, day-old game bird, or day-old turkey originates participates in the National Poultry Improvement Plan's Avian Influenza Clean
Program, to include the Auxiliary Provisions included in USDA/APHIS Proposed Rule, Docket No. 03-017-1, May 23, 2003; or
3. Any broiler less than 70 days of age going directly to slaughter.
4. Pigeons, doves, finches, and psittacine birds.
C. Approval Numbers
1. Each shipper of hatching eggs or poultry shall first secure an approval number from the State Veterinarian. This approval number must appear on each shipping
label or on each container of hatching eggs or poultry shipped into Virginia.
2. Applications for approval numbers must be made on forms provided by the State Veterinarian. Each application shall require the following information on each
flock from which the hatching eggs or poultry originate:
a. The name and address of each flock owner;
b. The species (i.e. chickens or turkeys) and the number of birds in each flock;
c. The date of the most recent Pullorum-typhoid test;
d. The total number, or the percentage, of positive reactions to the most recent Pullorum-typhoid test;
e. The Pullorum-typhoid status attained; and
f. Such additional information as the State Veterinarian may require.
3. Such applications, when completed, must be forwarded to the official state agency, the state livestock health official, or other competent and recognized authority
of the state of origin for verification, approval and signature; and then forwarded to the State Veterinarian for final approval. Hatching eggs or poultry shall not be
shipped into Virginia until final approval has been granted and the approval number is received.
D. Exceptions
This regulation shall not apply to hatching eggs or poultry passing directly through the Commonwealth of Virginia in interstate commerce, nor to poultry imported into
the Commonwealth of Virginia for immediate slaughter and consigned directly to a poultry processing establishment that is approved and inspected by the United
States Department of Agriculture or by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

That's weird I was just at a training last weekend by the state Vet. We talked in length about import eggs and chicks. There was never any mention of mg needing to be clean. Actually that program is so difficult there is not one flock in VA clean for mg.
With that said they also said nothing about needing to be approved ahead of time by the state. They stated a flock must be NPIP and AI clean to export in to VA that is it. So either the rules have change and that info is no longer correct. Or the state VET and Poultry conditioner don't know what they're talking about which I highly doubt lol
Just my two cents
If you want me to directly ask them I can?
According to them our state import rules are inline with every other NPIP and AI clean state?

I did some more looking as I am curious now. Don't see anything about needing mg. I do see where they have an application for importing but I believe that's only for dealers meaning your the middle man and don't raise your own birds. Either way just for your sake and now I know
As long as your NPIP and AI is up today's there is no fine m. They would just request from you NPIP and AI info.
