Last updated: April 2026 dataEquipment designed for commercial poultry production — including egg incubators, chick brooders, automatic feeders, ventilation systems, and egg-collection conveyors — is grouped here based on its dedicated poultry-keeping function. Incubator and brooder technology has advanced significantly with precision temperature and humidity control, and large-scale hatchery operators frequently source high-capacity units internationally. Importers should distinguish between incubators for poultry eggs (classified here) and laboratory or medical incubators, which fall under entirely different headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Commercial poultry incubators are classified here based on their design for hatching poultry eggs at scale — they feature egg-turning mechanisms, high-capacity trays, and humidity systems specific to avian embryo development. Laboratory incubators used for microbiological or cell-culture applications are classified under scientific instrument or laboratory equipment headings. The product's technical specifications and marketing documentation are key evidence for the correct heading.
The machinery itself does not require APHIS review. However, if incubators are imported having previously been used with live poultry eggs or chicks, APHIS may require cleaning and disinfection certification to prevent introduction of poultry diseases. New, unused equipment clears through standard CBP entry without APHIS involvement.
