Welcome to our USA direct importing services page.

Our professional DONE-FOR-YOU services include direct importing to the USA from Europe, and also direct importing to the USA from Kuwait, as well as a few other select countries around the world. Your birds are always given the highest quality feeds, including Versele-Laga Black Label Feed, high end probiotics, seaweed grit, and other nutritional supplements, while going through the entire importation process with us.

We do not cut any corners on quality, as we want you to experience only the very best we have to offer for you and your birds.

Our organized, straight-forward importation process DOES NOT subject your birds to multi-country travels and stays, and extended longer than normal quarantines, which would subject your birds to unnecessary added stress and delays. That slow route requires birds to stay in Poland for two months, then they go to Canada for another three months, prior to finally arriving to the USA for final delivery. We regularly work with some of the most reputable auction houses, and breeders throughout all of europe, and have personally purchased our very own birds from these sources which operate only within the highest levels of integrity and service. We are very selective with all of the vendors we choose to work with throughout this process. They have been fully vetted, so you can have peace of mind knowing we only work with the very best, and do not settle for just anyone who works out in the pigeon business space.

By utilizing our services, you will experience the FASTEST SPEED OF DELIVERY possible by which your birds can lawfully be directly imported into the USA. The average time your birds spend in quarantine from the time they start their inspection in EUROPE to the time they are eligible for final delivery here in the USA is typically now 120 days, since new USA import regulations go into effect on July 15, 2024.

There are new USDA Federal Regulations that go into effect on July 15, 2024 regarding the importation of birds into the USA that originate from other countries around the world, like South Africa, Thailand, Europe, etc.

All exporters that are located outside the USA that plan on shipping birds to the USA are required to comply with these new federal regulations.

These new regulations will now require the veterianarian in the exporting country to supervise, and personally certify of the health status of the group of birds for the previous 90 days, prior to them being eligible for their export shipment to the USA. What this means is the days of simply being able to add birds to an export group collection, with only a few days head notice, are over.

Careful planning on your part with the seller you acquire and buy your birds from in Europe will need to be arranged a few months in advance, prior to the birds joining our established collection groups in The Netherlands.

Moving forward, we recommend that you have the (seller/breeder located in Europe) obtain a Tracer Health Certificate for all of the birds you plan on having us import. This will need to be issued by an accredited veterinarinan in their area, at least 60-70 days, prior to having the birds delivered to ATF in The Netherlands.

This is due to new relocation requirements which require "traceability" of potential viral diseases back to their point of origination, in the event that any birds in the group test postive for AI or PMV, at any time throughout the entire quarantine and importation process.

EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE!

NOW THE IMPORTER YOU USE MATTERS!!

Throughout this importation process, we will get your birds to America quickly, using a very organized, reliable, stress free system with a fully transparent and straightforward process, which implements the best practices recognized in this importing space!

Are you tired of not knowing where your birds are located in the process? We have you covered, and can tell you exactly where they are in the process, once they begin their quarantine in EUROPE, when using our services. Our proprietary bird tracker system gives us a competitive edge on would be competitors!

The first step of the process begins by you becoming a member, and familiarizing yourself with the special way in which we do these direct importations to the USA, with no hassels or headaches involved. You'll need to first complete the necessary USA import and reservation form below. This allows us to serve you in the most productive, and time efficent way!

You clearly see the value of the speed of delivery, which is our specialty.

Domestic related shipping fees are additional. If there are any issues with testing this amount could be more due to extended days in quarantine which are an additional $9.25 per bird per day for birds that must stay beyond 30 days mandatory import quarantine after Jan 1st 2025. Late fees will also apply based on the terms and conditions set forth. Incidentals are always billed at the end of the quarantine process. Please be aware that your birds may require special treatment as advised by the USDA while they are in quarantine as part of federal regulatory procedures that are put in place for the safety and well being of your birds. See Title 9 Code Part 93.106(a). The quarantine facility is not a clinic and does not provide therapeutic care for birds. We are strictly prohibited from soliciting or rendering medical advice or care for your birds. This expertise must be done strictly through an accredited Avian Veterinarian. On rare occasions your birds may require an accredited Avian Veterinarian to visit the quarantine facility and administer additional care and treatment to your bird. We will always contact you to authorize said treatment before any additional costs are billed separately to you for those necessary treatments. You must type in the field that you AGREE with these terms and conditions of service.*
Please certify that all the birds you are having us import to the USA have truthfully been vaccinated for PMV and Salmonella at least 2x prior to ATF picking the birds up at the EU pickup location. If any birds show signs of salmonella we may request that proof of vaccination be provided by an accredited Vet for validation purposes for future import credits. Failure to comply with these requirements will void the future credit policy we have in place. All birds must be free of any external parasites including lice. Do not overlook these factors as unvaccinated birds and any birds that have external parasites or lice or carriers of salmonella have the potential to jeopardize both your birds as well as everyone else's birds and investments on a shipment. Type YES.*

Please indicate that you AGREE to not have any birds removed from our group once they have been reserved and assigned to our group. You must notify us of a change and or a request for removal of birds at least 14 days prior to ATF's collection/pickup.

Acceptable reasons would pertain to any circumstances relating to transport and logistics or AI or Newcastle outbreaks in an infected area which prohibit the movement of birds in and out of a quarantined zone per EU regulations and enforcement. Your notification request for birds withdrawl from our group must be delivered to us via email. Furthermore if we are unable to fill the spots you originally reserved you will be responsible for paying a non fulfillment fee equivalent to 20 percent of the original reservation you originally booked for your birds.

If these spots do not get filled we do not get refunded for any empty reservations not filled in the group. This fee would only apply to the USA portion of the importation process.*
Limitations of Liability. Avian Export Services is not liable for any mishaps of birds we handle at any time throughout the entire importation process including euthanasia and or shipping.

Title 9 Code of Federal Regulations Part 93.106 (a) applies to all birds imported to the USA that test positive for pmv or avian influenza. This affects the entire shipment and birds cannot be released from import quarantine if there are any issues with the test results.

Please type in the field that you AGREE to these terms and conditions of service.*
Pedigrees for your birds should always be given to ATF when birds are picked up or delivered to ATF for collection in Europe.
