On October 8, Region 3 issued a Notice of Refusal of Admission (NORA) to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refuse admission of a misbranded device imported through the Port of Richmond-Petersburg, VA. It is a violation of FIFRA to sell or distribute misbranded devices. The importer must export the pesticide out of the country or destroy it according to state and local regulations, and
must provide documentation to Region 3. The Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services was copied on the NORA. This action supports the Powering the Great American Comeback initiative - Pillar 1: Clean Air, Land, and Water for Every American.
