(1) For the purposes of subsection 28(1) of the Act and subject to subsection (3) of this section, goods that: (a) are eggs from the species Gallus gallus or egg products derived from eggs from the species Gallus gallus; and (b) are intended to be exported as food; are prescribed for the purposes of the Act.

Note 2: Eggs or egg products covered by this subsection are taken not to be prescribed goods for the purposes of the Act in the circumstances prescribed by section 2‑2 of this instrument (see the definition of prescribed goods in section 12 of the Act).

(2) If: (a) eggs or egg products of a kind referred to in a paragraph of subsection (3) are intended to be exported to a country (the importing country); and (b) for the purpose of meeting an importing country requirement of that country, one or more requirements of the Act must be complied with; then, for the purposes of subsection 28(1) of the Act, the eggs or egg products that are intended to be exported to the importing country are prescribed for the purposes of the Act.
