the border port of entry and, when accompanied by an import permit 
obtained under Sec.  93.204 of this part and all conditions therein are 
observed, shall be allowed entry into the United States and shall be 
otherwise handled as provided in paragraph (b) of Sec.  93.201. Poultry 
not accompanied by a permit shall meet the requirements of this part in 
the same manner as poultry destined for importation into the United 
States, except that the Administrator may permit their inspection at 
some other point when he or she finds that such action will not increase 
the risk that communicable disease of livestock and poultry will be 
disseminated to the livestock or poultry of the United States.
    (2) In-transit shipments through Canada. Poultry originating in the 
United States and transported directly through Canada may re-enter the 
United States without Canadian health or test certificates when 
accompanied by copies of the United States export health certificates 
properly issued and endorsed in accordance with regulations in part 91 
of this chapter: Provided, That, to qualify for entry, the date, time, 
port of entry, and signature of the Canadian Port Veterinarian that 
inspected the poultry for entry into Canada shall be recorded on the 
United States health certificate, or a paper containing the information 
shall be attached to the certificate that accompanies the poultry. In 
all cases it shall be determined by the veterinary inspector at the 
United States port of entry that the poultry are the identical poultry 
covered by said certificate.
    (b) Exhibition poultry. Poultry from the United States which have 
been exhibited at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair at Toronto or other 
publicly recognized expositions in Canada, including racing, rodeo, 
circus, or stage exhibitions in Canada, and have not been in that region 
for more than 90 days are eligible for return to the United States 
without Canadian health or test certificates, if they are accompanied by 
copies of the United States health certificate, issued and endorsed in 
accordance with the export regulations contained in part 91 of this 
chapter for entry into Canada: Provided, That all poultry offered for 
re-entry upon examination by the veterinary inspector at the U.S. port 
of entry, are found by the inspector to be free of communicable diseases 
and exposure thereto and are determined to be the identical poultry 
covered by said certificates or that they otherwise qualified for entry 
into Canada under the Canadian regulations.
