Fresh Bird Eggs in Shell, Not Elsewhere Specified

No — heading 0407.29 has only one 10-digit line (0407290000), which covers all fresh non-chicken bird eggs without species-level subdivision. Quail, duck, goose, and other species are all reported under the same line. Species identification remains important for USDA APHIS permit purposes, but the HTS does not distinguish between them at the tariff level.

The importer should confirm that the Canadian flock and region of origin are currently eligible under USDA APHIS avian disease requirements, obtain the required health certificate from CFIA, and file FDA prior notice before the shipment arrives. Because quail are susceptible to avian influenza, any active HPAI detections in the source region can trigger APHIS restrictions even for Canada. A licensed customs broker familiar with poultry product admissibility can help navigate current permit conditions.
