Are Chinese Eggs in the U.S.?

It would be helpful to know if the U.S. imports eggs (in any form) from China. AP writer Gillian Wong is trying to find out:
Wal-Mart and Chinese officials said they did not have a figure for how many eggs had been recalled and it was not immediately clear which countries import eggs from China. So far, no illnesses have been reported.

More than 90% of China's exports of egg products went to Asian countries in the first eight months of the year, according to government data; 6.5% went to North America.

Not sure which portion of that went to the US, if any. USDA dairy imports would be the place to check.
