Yes. Live turkey poults require a USDA APHIS import permit and a health certificate from the exporting country's official veterinary authority, covering the same notifiable diseases — principally avian influenza and Newcastle disease — as other live poultry imports.
The US and Canadian turkey industries are deeply integrated, with primary breeding companies operating multiplier flocks on both sides of the border. This cross-border genetic supply chain, combined with APHIS disease-status requirements that favor contiguous low-risk countries, makes Canada the natural and nearly exclusive supplier of poults at this weight class.
