USDA International Egg and Poultry: US Shell Egg Exports
Shell egg exports (not including hatching eggs) increased 53% for
January-November 2013 exports when compared to the same
period a year earlier. Exports of fresh chicken eggs rose 57% while
exports of fresh bird eggs rose 38%. Exports of processed/cooked
bird eggs were 4% higher. Strong demand from Mexico accounted
for much of the increase.
Outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Mexico in 2012 and 2013 resulted in strong demand for shell eggs beginning in September 2012.

2008-2011 HS code 0407000040; 2012-2013 HS codes 040721 (fresh chicken eggs), 040790 (fresh bird eggs, and 040790 (processed/cooked bird eggs). Data Source: U.S. Census Bureau Trade Data
For January-November 2013, Hong Kong, Canada, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates continued to be the top four markets for fresh chicken egg exports. Exports were sharply higher to Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Taiwan. Exports to Angola disappeared, and exports were sharply lower to the Netherlands, Netherland Antilles, Maldives and the Gambia. Exports to the Netherlands in 2012 were unusually high due to a ban on battery cages that went into effect on January 1, 2012.
