Eggs of species other than Gallus domesticus — such as quail, duck, goose, or ostrich — enter under a single 10-digit line (0407290000), making species identification on commercial documentation essential for correct classification and to avoid misclassification into the chicken-egg heading. Canada is the dominant US supplier under this heading, with Brazil a secondary source, reflecting proximity and established specialty-poultry industries. USDA APHIS import conditions and FDA prior notice both apply, and the admissibility of eggs from specific bird species may also implicate CITES controls if the species is listed. Buyers sourcing specialty eggs for food-service or gourmet retail should verify that the exporting country's establishment is on the USDA-approved list for the relevant avian species.
