McALLEN, Texas ( Border Report )— U. S. Customs and Border Protection officers remind the public that although it’s nice to give plants for Mother’s Day, not all flowers can traverse U. S. ports of entry.
There are limitations on certain agricultural goods, including Chrysanthemums, which are not allowed to be brought from Mexico.
That’s because the flower you have a fungus and that could harm U. S. vegetation and agribusiness, CBP officials say.
Additionally, soil and potted plants are not permitted to safeguard U.S. crops from worms, aggressive insects, and plant diseases.
After passing through audits, roses, flowers, and other flowers are permitted into the US. However, flowers or growing require a force to be accepted, and dirt may be imported from Mexico.  ,
When entering U.S. ships, all visitors are required to present their plants and flowers to CBP officials.
A list of flowers, reduce plants, fruits, and vegetables that are and are not permitted to be brought into the United States is available on the company’s website.
For first-time offenders who do n’t declare agricultural products in non-commercial quantities, fines of up to$ 1, 000 can be issued.
Mother’s Day is on Friday, May 10, in most of Latin America. In the U. S., Mother’s Day is on Sunday.
