Shipping Live Chickens to Canada 🇨🇦
Live Poultry Store has been exporting NPIP-certified live poultry internationally since 2012. We ship to Canada regularly, working with USDA APHIS to ensure full export compliance and with Canada's CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) to meet all import health requirements.
Every international shipment from our Texas farm includes complete health certification, NPIP documentation, and all required export permits. Our experienced team has processed dozens of international shipments and knows the exact requirements for Canada imports.
