Exporting eggs to Canada

[lou]

Does anyone know what is required to export eggs to Canada?

Don't you need a NPIP license? I don't know for sure, though.

I think that is part of it. I wonder if there is anything else tho?

Looks like there are quota restrictions on broiler hatching eggs, but I ahve not found anything for other hatching purposes:

I don't see other hatching egg listed.

You might want to send email to the contact listed for broiler hatching eggs in teh document in the first URL and ask for assistance if you are planning to import eggs that are not broiler/meat breeds.

You might need an export permit from the USDA, and you need an import permit from the Candadian Food Inspection Agency:
