ATTN: Anyone shipping to IOWA

Remember IOWA does require import permits in addition to being NPIP Certified and AI Clean in order to ship onto their state.

This just came into my inbox from IOWA. Please pay close attention. If your state is listed if so you will need additional permitting. You can not ship into IOWA without directly contacting them

This is the copied and pasted email

Hello all,

This is a reminder that the following states are considered affected by Avian Influenza and require additional IDALS poultry permitting for the state of Iowa until your state has gone 30 days without a detection in poultry.

If you are unsure at any point if your state still requires additional permitting, visit

https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/avian/avian-influenza/hpai-detections/commercial-backyard-flocks

and make sure the variable is filtered to include “All birds.” If your state is highlighted, additional permitting is required.

Current affected states and current date normal permitting would be reinstated:

Alabama 19-Jan

Arkansas 3-Feb

California 3-Feb

Delaware 9-Feb

Florida 7-Feb

Idaho 3-Feb

Illinois 23-Jan

Indiana 7-Feb

Louisiana 18-Jan

Michigan 9-Feb

Minnesota 6-Feb

Mississippi 30-Jan

Missouri 8-Feb

Nebraska 30-Jan

North Carolina 7-Feb

Oklahoma 24-Jan

Oregon 19-Jan

South Carolina 31-Jan

South Dakota 7-Feb

Tennessee 30-Jan

Vermont 24-Jan

Iowa rules state that in the event of an AI-affected state all permitting must be handled through the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship for at least 30 days after the initial positive.

Please contact Michelle Dillon [email protected] or Jaime Carter [email protected] for permitting needs.

You will receive additional communications once your state has gone 30 days without a case of HPAI so you can resume normal permitting.

Your state OSA’s have been BCC’d for their reference.
