U.S. imports of fresh chicken eggs (gallus domesticus), not otherwise specified (HS 040721) totaled $6K in April 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFresh in-shell eggs of Gallus domesticus that fall outside the fertilized-egg category enter the US under three distinct 10-digit lines: consumer-grade table eggs (0407210030), a general NESOI basket (0407210090), and a legacy line (0407210000). All shipments require FDA prior notice and are subject to USDA APHIS import conditions that restrict entry from countries with active avian influenza outbreaks, making disease-status documentation a critical compliance step. Brazil leads US supply under this heading, followed by Mexico and Turkey — a geographically diverse supplier base that reflects the sensitivity of egg trade to periodic avian disease embargoes. Importers should confirm that the exporting establishment holds current USDA approval and that shell-egg grading standards align with US consumer-grade specifications before shipment.

USDA APHIS maintains a list of approved regions for poultry products; if a supplying country or zone is affected by a notifiable avian influenza strain, APHIS may suspend imports from that region regardless of the exporting establishment's approval status. Importers should monitor APHIS regionalization decisions continuously, as suspensions can take effect with little advance notice.
Line 0407210030 is reserved for eggs that meet US consumer-grade standards — typically graded and sized for retail sale — while 0407210090 captures fresh shell eggs that do not meet that consumer-grade specification, such as hatching eggs or eggs destined for further processing. Correct classification between these lines affects duty treatment and may affect admissibility documentation requirements.
Yes. Fresh shell eggs are a food product subject to FDA's prior notice requirement under the Bioterrorism Act. Importers must submit prior notice electronically before the shipment arrives at the US port of entry, in addition to meeting any USDA APHIS conditions applicable to the country of origin.
