Canadian Border Agricultural Clearance Manual, Third Edition

摘要

One purpose of this manual is to enable Federal officers to regulate (determine admissibility of) agricultural articles in the absence of U. S. Customs and Border Protection Agriculture Inspection (CBP AI). Regulate means to: prohibit entry to those articles that pose a threat to the agriculture of the United States$ release those articles that this manual authorizes you to release$ and contact CBP AI on those articles that require extensive inspection, testing, or treatment--or where the cooperator is uncertain as to the likelihood that an article might be carrying pests and/or diseases. A second purpose of this manual is to provide directions for taking limited action in the absence of CBP AI. U. S. Customs and Border Protection along the Canadian border has agreed to: sample certain agricultural and vegetable seed$ board aircraft and ships in specified instances$ and inspect horsemeat to make sure it is unfit for human consumption.
