Sec. 93.205  Certificate for poultry.

    All poultry, except eggs for hatching, offered for importation from 
any region of the world shall be accompanied by a certificate of a 
salaried veterinary officer of the national government of the region of 
origin, or if exported from Mexico, shall be accompanied either by such 
a certificate or by a certificate issued by a veterinarian accredited by 
the National Government of Mexico and endorsed by a full-time salaried 
veterinary officer of the National Government of Mexico, thereby 
representing that the veterinarian issuing the certificate was 
authorized to do so, stating that such poultry and their flock or flocks 
of origin were inspected on the premises of origin immediately before 
the date of movement from such region and that they were then found to 
be free of evidence of communicable diseases of poultry, and that, as 
far as it has been possible to determine, they were not exposed to any 
such disease common to poultry during the 90 days immediately preceding 
the date of such movement and that these premises are not located in any 
area under quarantine during the preceding 90 days. Certificates for 
such poultry shall also state that the poultry have been kept in the 
region from which they are offered for importation for at least 90 days 
immediately preceding the date of movement therefrom or since hatched 
and that, as far as it has been possible to determine, no case of 
European fowl pest (fowl plague) or Newcastle disease occurred on the 
premises where such poultry were kept, or on adjoining premises, during 
that 90-day period. All eggs for hatching offered for importation from 
any part of the world, shall be accompanied by a certificate of a 
salaried veterinary officer of the national government of the region of 
origin, or if exported from Mexico, shall be accompanied either by such 
a certificate or by a certificate issued by a veterinarian accredited by 
the National Government of Mexico and endorsed by a full-time salaried 
veterinary officer of the National Government of Mexico, thereby 
representing that the veterinarian issuing the certificate was 
authorized to do so, stating that the flock or flocks of origin were 
found upon inspection to be free from evidence of communicable diseases 
of poultry, that no Newcastle disease has occurred on the premises of 
origin or on adjoining premises during the 90 days immediately preceding 
the date of movement of the eggs from such region, and that as far as it 
has been possible to determine such flock or flocks were not exposed to 
such disease during the preceding 90 days.
