Turkeys over four months old and other poultry over five months old to be used for purposes other than immediate slaughter may be imported if they are accompanied by a certificate of veterinary inspection certifying that they are classified as U.S. pullorum typhoid clean or of comparable status and a statement that the shipment is free from evidence of any infectious disease. Poultry must also be classified as U.S. pullorum typhoid clean or of comparable status. Poultry must be quarantined on arrival for at least 30 days after importation and be tested for pullorum and typhoid diseases as determined by the Animal Industry Board or must remain under quarantine until sold for slaughter. If the test of any bird reveals pullorum or typhoid disease, all birds in the shipment must be immediately sold for slaughter or destroyed under supervision of the board.
