What state are you in? There is no state that does not have import requirements for hatching eggs. The way that I would interpret "exempts NPIP" means that if it is NPIP, it can come into the state. It does not mean that it allows import without NPIP although a very few states do allow import without NPIP certification but require a Veterinarian Certificate of Health in its place. Some states even require an import permit.My state exempts NPIP paperwork, therefore is allowed into the state.
