Hi, forest pest mavens!
I have posted a new blog at www.cisp.us or
www.nivemnic.us which asks why USDA
has not changed its policy of allowing importers to violate wood pacakging
regulations 4 times in a year before imposing a penalty. As you may
remember, Customs made that change this fall - as of November Customs is free
to penalize any shipment that violates ISPM#15. As noted in my blog in
October, every year Customs detects thousands of non-compliant shipments! More
aggressive enforcement seems essential!
