Last updated: July 2026 dataLive poultry weighing 185 grams or less — primarily day-old chicks, ducklings, and other hatchlings — are traded internationally as the foundation of commercial broiler, layer, and turkey grow-out operations. USDA APHIS regulates entry, requiring health certification and, critically, avian influenza (AI) country-status clearance, which has become the dominant admissibility constraint given recurring AI outbreaks in major poultry-producing regions. The weight threshold of 185 grams is the classification boundary between this heading and the over-185-gram heading, making accurate weight documentation at the time of export essential. Admissibility is complex — consult a licensed customs broker or USDA APHIS before importing.

The 185-gram cutoff separates hatchlings and very young birds (this heading) from older, heavier live poultry. Because the two headings can carry different duty rates and may be subject to different regulatory protocols, exporters must document the weight of birds at the time of shipment. Birds that exceed the threshold — even marginally — must be classified under the over-185-gram heading.
USDA APHIS restricts live poultry imports from countries or zones where highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is detected. An outbreak in a major source country can suspend all live poultry imports from that origin with immediate effect, disrupting hatchery supply chains. Importers should monitor APHIS country-status notices and maintain alternative sourcing options.
