There are links at the bottom of this page to each State's importations requirements.

Very interesting link. I went and read about 10 states worth for just hatching eggs as I do ship hatching eggs. Won't ship live birds. And of the states I did read most of them did say that even hatching eggs must come from NPIP certified flocks.

Now, my next question is how many states actually enforce this for hatching eggs? I am sure there are ways of getting around this. I have been contemplating about getting NPIP certified and am still on the fence about it. I know there are major advantages for it, but in the same respect there are disadvantages as well.

The USPS does not as a habit regulate individual State Laws.  They have regulations on shipping live birds, but that is it.

If the State finds out that you have shipped birds in illegally they can prosecute you and/or the receiver....never heard of it done though.

That's funny  ;) good one Don, I do know a guy around my parts that shipped over 600 ducklings and goslings this year to 12 different states that is "not". I also do not know if there are different regulations concerning waterfowl. I thought he was and found this out when I asked him how I go about getting certified. He simply suggested don't ask and don't tell. I am also on the fence about this, I really hate the thought of Big Brother regulating what I do or don't do. I guess I will keep praying on it and hope to hear the answer.

It was good enough for the federal government, so it should be good enough for me. ;D
Yes, there are different rules for waterfowl (usually).
