Ostriches and emus imported live under tariff line 0106330000 are ratite birds used primarily for breeding stock and specialty agriculture. Neither species carries a CITES listing, but USDA APHIS health certification, disease testing for avian influenza and Newcastle disease, and advance import permits are required at entry. Because the US has a mature domestic ratite industry, import volumes tend to be modest and driven by genetic diversity needs rather than commercial-scale supply. Importers should verify APHIS's current approved-country status for the source region, as HPAI outbreaks can trigger rapid import suspensions.

USDA APHIS typically requires negative test results for highly pathogenic avian influenza and exotic Newcastle disease, conducted within a specified pre-export window. The exact testing protocol depends on the country of origin and current APHIS import conditions; importers should obtain the applicable VS import permit well in advance to confirm current requirements.
USDA APHIS may require post-arrival quarantine at an approved facility depending on the country of origin and disease status. The length and conditions of quarantine are specified in the APHIS import permit. Importers should factor quarantine costs and duration into their logistics planning, as birds cannot be moved to their final destination until APHIS releases them.
