Can I ship quail eggs without some kind of license

Can I ship quail eggs out of state without some kind of license if not what licensing do I need? I googled it but it seemed sorta vague to me about licensing for that kind of thing in Oregon

Yes, to ship poultry to Oregon, the flock must be part of the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) and meet other requirements.

I'm sure if they're sold on eBay and you don't post about it on social media you can likely avoid a lot of red tape (assuming you aren't making a lot of profit). Sorry to sound so sketchy, but if you don't make enough from the sales to report on your taxes, I don't see the harm. It's like a classic American under-the-table job.

Every state except AK, OR, RI, TN, and WY, requires the sender to have NPIP/AI clearance from their state.

We are taxed and the buyer is taxed. I sell 6 Fertile Eggs at a time and I will get a statement at years end. I just put my NPIP number on the box just in case.

You need to be NPIP certified to ship out of state.

In addition to the NPIP others have mentioned to legally ship hatching eggs across state lines, in most cases a vetrinary health certificate within the last 30 days is valid substitute for import to most states.. you would wanna check the state laws where you're shipping to.

See the following links, maybe they will be helpful with regards to any permits required by Oregon..

Ok I will consider getting NPIP certified!
Thanks for all the input
