Being NPIP does mean diddly squat. You obtain a number that is used and a form you fill out as to quantities, type and so forth. My inspector signs a bunch of them each year for me. This is all you need. I put that form in with eggs shipped or hand it to the buyer of birds. It's not hard nor as paperwork burdensome as the list above suggest.
If you read all that fine print you'll note that what you get as NPIP participant allows you to ship to all states.
I inquired on another thread about import permits, certificate of veterinary inspection and etc. I think I worded it out poorly. For my state, eggs just need to have some form of certificate come with them, such as NPIP or a certificate of veterinary inspection etc. So at least to my state either is acceptable, doesn't need both. I'm not sure about other states though. Looks like I'll have to look into it state by state. I'm researching this cause I'm looking into selling eggs in the future just like the OP is. My main question now is about import permits, only the seller has to deal with that part right? The buyer doesn't need to do anything regarding import permits? Of course they can't clearly spell that out in the rules, but that's what it looked like to me. I just want to be sure.
