Due
to the birdflu problems many countries have imposed new
regulations for the importation
of live birds and hatch eggs. They also imposed heavy fines on
illegal imports. Before
contacting breeders regarding the purchase of their birds and
eggs it is very wise to get
the proper information in advance about the export and import
regulations of poultry
and poultry-related products from the agriculture ministery in
your own country
Depending on the import/export regulations in your own country
you must provide possibly:
health certificate, document of origin, import license, Cites
declaration, etcetera
INFORM
YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY
(MAYBE ILLEGAL AND VERY EXPENSIVE) ACTIONS
