Last updated: April 2026 dataDay-old and other lightweight chicks — the foundation of commercial poultry genetics — enter the US under three tariff lines that separate egg-type breeding stock (0105110010), meat-type breeding stock (0105110020), and non-breeding chicks (0105110040). USDA APHIS administers import permits and health-certificate requirements, with avian influenza status of the exporting country being a critical admissibility factor. Canada leads supply, followed by the Netherlands and Brazil, reflecting the global concentration of elite poultry genetics in a handful of specialized breeding companies. Classification hinges on whether the chicks are certified breeding stock, making genetic documentation from the exporter essential.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The importer must present breeder certification or pedigree documentation from the exporting establishment confirming the genetic line and intended production purpose. USDA APHIS import permits will typically specify the breed type, and the commercial invoice should reflect the classification. Without clear breeding-stock certification, chicks default to the non-breeding line (0105110040), which may carry different duty treatment.
USDA APHIS can suspend or restrict imports of live poultry from countries or regions experiencing highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks. Suspensions can be applied at the country or zone level and may take effect with little advance notice. Importers relying on Canadian, Dutch, or Brazilian sources should monitor APHIS notices and maintain contingency sourcing plans given the speed with which HPAI restrictions are imposed.
