Interstate Movement of Imported Plants and Plant Parts

We are establishing a new generic domestic quarantine notice. This domestic quarantine notice provides that, subsequent to their importation, foreign plants and plant parts prohibited under our foreign quarantine notices from being imported into certain States or areas are also prohibited from being moved interstate into those States or areas. This action will clarify and strengthen our ability to enforce restrictions on the movement in commerce of imported plants and plant parts that present a risk of introducing foreign plant pests and diseases. In conjunction with this action, we are also removing a domestic quarantine notice that prohibits certain interstate movements of Unshu oranges, subsequent to their importation into the United States, because the new domestic quarantine notice makes a specific one for Unshu oranges unnecessary.
