Birds' eggs, in shell; fresh, fertilised eggs for incubation, other than fowls of the species Gallus domesticus (domestic hens)

Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 040719 when importing or exporting fresh, fertilized bird eggs for incubation, specifically those not from domestic hens. An example would be a shipment of fertilized quail eggs intended for hatching.
This code applies to eggs from various bird species, such as ducks or turkeys, which are intended for incubation. In contrast, HS-6 040711 covers fresh, unfertilized eggs from domestic hens, which are used for consumption rather than hatching.
When classifying eggs under this heading, ensure they are specifically fertilized and intended for incubation. If you have eggs from species like geese or pigeons, they may also fall under this HS-6, but domestic hen eggs will not qualify.
Proper documentation is crucial. Make sure to include details about the species and intended use in your import/export paperwork to avoid classification issues.
