Are any live birds allowed to be released at the Port Of Entry without the 30 day quarantine, specifically in Canada?
Live birds from countries other than Canada cannot be released without USDA consent, and only after a 30 day quarantine with no signs of disease.Live poultry or commercial birds imported from Canada are not required to be quarantined. However, a veterinary health certificate issued within 30 days of importation and endorsed by a full-time salaried veterinarian of the Canadian government must accompany commercial bird shipments. A USDA veterinarian at the first U.S. port of entry must inspect commercial birds from Canada. An import permit is not required for live poultry or commercial birds imported from Canada through a U.S.-Canadian land border port. However, if commercial birds enter the United States through an airport, an import permit is required.
