Laws or rules on importing eggs

[panner123]

I have some family members coming for a visit later this month. I am wondering if they could bring some hatching eggs in thier carry on baggage. Anyone have any knowledge on this? It would be nice to have some fresh lines of BCMs.

unless you smuggle them in and no one notices lol (dont reccomend) theres tests and stuff that needs ran on all the breeders birds before the eggs can be imported. I dont knwo what all it intells but i know it's pricey...but worth it!

I wouldn't advise it..if they get caught, somebodies gonna be in big trouble..$$$$$$$$$ fines.....all bags are checked etc,,search and seizures will take place..
