U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agriculture Specialists in Los Angeles International Airport inspecting imported cut flowers from outside the United States for foreign plant pests and diseases before releasing them to the U.S. economy.
In the weeks leading to Valentine’s Day, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agriculture specialists work long hours inspecting millions of flowers stems arriving from South America and Europe to the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
CBP agriculture specialists look for microscopic hitch hikers that hide in the foliage, leafs and petals. Their scientific knowledge of insects and plant diseases allow them to identify threats to our vital agriculture resources. If pests or diseases are intercepted, the shipments are treated, re-exported or destroyed.
