3 Introduction A typical port of entry is an official entry point for import and export of goods to and from a country. Plant Quarantine and Customs officials provide a filter through which this large array of goods is passed. At first glance, it would seem impossible to effectively regulate the introduction of IAS in such a large diversity of shipments. However, experience has shown that IAS typically enter a country in one of two ways cont_port.jpg - Intentional introductions (shipments that are either authorized or smuggled), or as, - Unintentional contaminants of another shipment. This session will cover IAS that are intentionally introduced through the port of entry or by mail. Session 1. Authorized Introductions Approaches for Exclusion 3.1. Preclearance - Pre-border Inspection and Certification Clearly, the most effective way to safeguard a country from introduced IAS is to deal with potential problems before they arrive at the port of entry. This is usually accomplished by certification of pest free status, and / or inspection and preclearance of a shipment by border clearance officials at ports of exports. The main advantage of this approach is that problems Port of Entry. Cadiz, Spain n/cadiz/cadiz-01c-0788.jpg 109
4 with a shipment can be cleared up before it is transported to the receiving country. It also helps to expedite the border clearance process as a shipment passes through a port of entry Preclearance of Agriculture and Forestry Species and Products Raw agricultural and forestry products such as grain, lumber, and logs, pose a very high risk for spreading IAS around the world. In addition, large, bulk shipments of such products are difficult to inspect and treat at a port of entry. Therefore, the most effective way to deal with them is to require that they be pest free as a condition of entry in a receiving country. Inspecting and certifying that a product is produced in a pest free environment is generally the responsibility of the official plant quarantine agency in an exporting country an agency that is recognized by the official plant quarantine agency in the receiving country. htm See also (Cock, 2003) Border Clearance of Authorized Introductions - Port of Entry Inspection Generally speaking, plants and animals that are authorized entry into a country enter as a miscellaneous commodity (not otherwise restricted as a vector or known harbinger of a plant pest (i.e., prohibited insect or disease); OR, as a certified commodity under a certain kind of permit. Here are two examples. Miscellaneous Commodity: Bags of Ornamental River Rocks from France Certified Commodity: Beef or Pork from a Foot and Mouth Disease Free Country 110
5 om/img/img-01.jpg roducts.jpg In either case, both types of commodities are subject to inspection to make sure they don t carry hitchhiking pests or stowaways. A container found to be covered with prohibited snails will be a definite problem regardless of the type of commodity (certified or otherwise) that it might carry. Certification of certain commodities by export officials certainly helps to expedite the border clearance process in a port of entry. However, sometimes certificates cannot be taken at face value, and it is often wise to inspect a certified shipment just to make sure the certificate is valid Case Study: Fumigation of Brass Artware from Bombay, India. In the 1980s, shipments of brass artware from India were often certified as having been fumigated for khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium) prior to shipment to the United States. However, since it was quite common to intercept live Khapra beetle in such shipments, they were fumigated again, as a condition of entry. Apparently, such shipments were fumigated and then stored in an infested warehouse prior to shipment to the U.S., or were never actually fumigated at all. Brass Artware. epalbrass.jpg 111
6 Keep a Sharp Eye! Every walk through a container yard in a port of entry may be the last time that a container is seen before release the last chance to stop the introduction of a devastating pest. A sharp eye is often the last defense against biological invasion Case Study: Animals in the Pet Trade - Pythons in the Florida Everglades). Considering the large number of intentionally introduced plants and animals that have become IAS in some regions of the world, there is clear evidence to suggest that every new plant or animal that is proposed for importation should be pre-screening for invasiveness. The booming trade in exotic animals has opened the floodgates for invasive species to enter into the United States and other countries. Miami International Airport receives at least 70 foreign shipments of exotic animals per day such as Burmese Python tarantulas, lizards, and snakes. While some of the species are illegally imported, many exotic animals are permitted entry into the U.S. U.S. residents can legally own 22 or the 24 python species found around the world. Burmese pythons are popular and legal pet snakes in the United States. In the past five years, more than 144,000 Burmese pythons have been imported into the U.S. Hatchlings sell for as little as $ They make nice little pets. But once a cute baby snake grows into a 15 foot long (5 meters) monster, some owners decide to get rid of the problem by dumping them into natural areas. Since the mid- 1990s, park rangers with the Everglades National Park in Florida, have captured or killed 68 Burmese pythons. They have been found eating gray squirrels, opossums, black rats, and birds. They could also be competing with the eastern indigo snake for food and space. The eastern indigo snake is listed as threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Lovgren, 2004). 112
7 3.3. International Standards for Importation and Release of Exotic Biological Control Agents Once an IAS becomes well established and widespread within a country, there are a number of management strategies that are used for addressing it. These include mechanical control (e.g., plowing, mowing), cultural control (such as crop rotation), chemical control (with pesticides including biopesticides such as BT (Bacillus thuringensis), and classical biological control with natural enemies of the pest. The simple definition of biological control is suppression of a pest outbreak due to intentional introduction and manipulation of natural enemies of a pest. Natural enemies of a pest include predators, parasites, and pathogens that co-evolved with the pest in its native range. Over the past decade, increasing concerns have been raised about the possible negative impacts of introduced biological control agents on non-target species. To address these concerns, a code of conduct for the importation and release of exotic biological control agents was developed over a six year period, and endorsed by FAO member countries in ISPM 3 (2005) - Guidelines for the Export, Shipment, Import, and Release of Biological Control Agents and other Beneficial Organisms, an updated version of the guidelines, is available from the IPPC at the following website: URL: _E.pdf?filename= _ISPM3.pdf&refID=76047 ISPM #3 describes responsibilities of authorities of governments, importers, and exporters for the import and release of exotic biological control agents for plants and plant pests. The key recommendations from the guidelines are: A national body should be designated to administer the biocontrol regulatory process (usually the National Plant Protection Organization with a country) A dossier should be prepared for each proposed introduction, with details on the pest (identification, importance, known natural enemies), the natural enemy (identification, host specificity, hazards to non-target hosts, its natural enemies, and 113
8 possible contaminants), human and animal health and safety issues, and protocols for the introduction. Exporters of biological control agents should conform to local legislation and legislation of the importing country regarding labeling and packaging of the agents for shipment. The national body of the importing country should encourage proper documentation, deposition of voucher specimens by the importer, encourage monitoring of the release and its impacts, and monitor for subsequent impacts and take corrective action if necessary. Importers of biological control agents should ensure that relevant staff are properly trained, should disseminate information on safety and environmental impacts, should publish results of field studies, and should notify authorities of problems, and help to find solutions (Kairo et al., 2003A; Kairo et al, 2003B; Anonymous, 2005) Case Study: Overview of the U.S. Biological Control Approval Process. A good example of the permitted listing approach for exclusion of foreign pests is the system that is used by the United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) to regulate the importation of biological control agents into the United States. Before a new biological control agent is approved for release in the country, petitioners must first do a comprehensive analysis of the taxonomy of the weed to be controlled to determine if there are any native relatives that the biocontrol agent might also attack. Once this is completed, the scientist develops a plant test list which is evaluated by APHIS personnel as well as the U.S. Biocontrol Technical Advisory Group (BC-TAG). Prior to field release, research is conducted in a certified containment facility to determine if the biocontrol agent will feed on any of the approved test plants (native near relatives of the target weed). Sawfly ((Heteroperreyia hubrichi). Photo by Stephen D. Hight. detail.cfm?imgnum= The BC-TAG is an independent volunteer committee that was first set up in 1957 to provide advice to researchers on the importation of biocontrol agents. The BC-TAG is currently composed of biologists from other U.S. federal agencies (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA Forest Service, U.S. Geological Survey, Bureau of Land Management, and etc.). TAG members review petitions for biological control of weeds, and provide 114
9 an exchange of information, and advice to petitioners, and to officials in APHIS who are responsible for issuing permits for importation, testing, and field release of biological control agents of weeds. Currently, the U.S. BC-TAG is evaluating a petition for testing the effectiveness and selectivity of the Brazilian Pepper photo by Amy Ferriter. l.cfm?imgnum= sawfly (Heteroperreyia hubrichi Malaise) for Brazilian Pepper (native to South American devastating in South Florida) and other native plants that are near relatives. Field observations have determined that the sawfly feeds almost exclusively on Brazilian pepper in its home range. In preliminary tests that were conducted in a biocontrol quarantine facility in Florida, it was found that the sawfly could only complete its life cycle on Brazilian Pepper and the Hawaiian Sumac (Rhus sandwicensis). Based on this research, a petition was submitted to APHIS for limited field release of the sawfly for control of Brazilian pepper. In this case, field release of the sawfly in Florida appears justified. However, since it is known to also feed on Hawaiian Sumac, it would be prudent to issue a permit allowing field release of the sawfly in the continental United States only. For more about the work of the University of Florida and the USDA Agriculture Service on Brazilian Pepper, refer to the following online article: Addition Information Sources: Brazilian Peppertree.

Medal PEPPERTREE% pdf#search=%22hawaiian%20sumac% Phytosanitary Certification of Exported Plants and Plant Products Phytosanitary certificates are issued by exporting countries to indicate that shipments of regulated plants and associated products meet specified phytosanitary import requirements and are in conformity with the certifying statement of the appropriate International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) model certificate. This includes regulated commodities such as plants, bulbs and tubers, seeds for propagation, fruits Fruit Inspection
10 and vegetables, cut flowers and branches, grain, and growing medium. Phytosanitary certificates are also used for plant products that have a potential for introducing regulated pests (e.g., cotton, wood, wool, etc.). A certificate is sometimes also issued for other articles where Figure Phytosanitary measures are justified (e.g., empty containers, vehicles, etc.). Phytosanitary certificates are not issued for plant products have been fully processed and pose no risk for introducing regulated pests, or for other articles that require no Phytosanitary measures (Anonymous, 2001).

12 Session 2. Unauthorized Intentional Introductions By Mail and Transport Strategies and Case Studies 3.5. Introductions by Mail International mail and parcel post represent two major pathways for spread of IAS around the world. Unlike cargo and commodity inspection at ports of export and ports of entry, mail is generally controlled by a federal postal system in a country. Regulations on inspection of mail vary from country to country. In the United States and Australia, international mail is routinely X-rayed and scanned, and may be opened by a Customs Officer. However, the sheer volume of international Mail Inspection mail makes inspection for IAS a pg very difficult task. In the future, high tech scanning devices will improve the ability of postal officials and border clearance officials to detect prohibited items in international parcels Case Study: Illegal Introductions of the Northern Snakehead Fish in the Eastern U.S. In 2002, the capture of a Northern Snakehead fish (Channa argus) in Crofton Pond, in Maryland, about 20 miles north of Washington, D.C., caused a lot of concern in the United States. The snakehead is a voracious predator that decimates native fish populations. That population of snakehead was eradicated by the state of Maryland. However, since that time, the snakehead has been found in a few other locations around the Washington, D.C. area, and appears to have established a breeding Northern Snakehead Fish. Artist: Susan Trammel population in the Potomac River, which forms the boundary between Maryland and Virginia. In addressing this problem, investigators 118
13 learned that the snakehead is a traditional food in Asia. It was illegally imported by Asian-Americans for that purpose. It was also learned that a number of the fish had been intentionally released in the U.S. as part of a prayer ritual by well intended Asian-Americans. Such behavior is certainly not malicious. However, this shows the very real need to educate the public and especially new immigrants of the danger of IAS. While the snakehead has been officially prohibited under federal and state laws for a number of years, these laws are no better than the ethics of the people they are enacted to protect. Therefore, education is one of the most important elements of a national strategy to address issues of IAS. Additional Information Sources: - Maryland Department of Natural Resources Snakehead Information Page: - CSA Guide to Discovery: Catalog and E-Commerce Marketing of Invasive Species Catalogs have been used as an effective direct marketing tool for plants and animals for a very long time. Most companies do not intentionally market prohibited species, and will quickly remove such a species from inventory upon being reminded. However, most IAS in the world are not regulated, and some have clear economic value. These species, which are often too wide spread in a country to PondPlants1.html be regulated, pose a special challenge to border clearance officials, and to others who are working to protect managed and natural ecosystems and resources. Here again, education is an important key for helping 119
14 people to make the right decisions about purchasing and using nonregulated IAS in regions where they may pose a problem. Our newest challenge related to spread of IAS by mail and parcel post is marketing of plants and animals by e-commerce the internet. At a national meeting on IAS and E-Commerce that was hosted by Sandy Lloyd and Rod Randall of the Western Australia Department of Agriculture in Perth, in 2000, it was estimated that there are at least 5,000 internet websites involved in commercial sale and/or trading of over 50,000 species and varieties of plants. The plethora of such plant nursery websites can be confirmed by a quick search of the Google Internet Search Engine for recognized IAS such as giant salvinia (Salvinia molesta) Smuggling IAS via Sea, Air, Road, and Rail Most people are honest. However, some people will go to great lengths to try to subvert Customs and Plant Quarantine rules as they enter a country. This ranges from hiding prohibited items in baggage and personal effects to mislabeling of commercially imported plant and animal products that are shipped through the international mail system, by sea, air, road, and rail. As with other prohibited products, a prohibited IAS or product can be regulated (taken off the market) within the country where it originates. However, this does not help other countries that regulate such as species. Unless such an imported shipment is truthfully declared and inspected upon arrival at a port of entry, the chances are great that an imported IAS might never be detected before it is received by the consignee. This is a major reason why postal officials and border clearance officials need permission to inspect all types of international mail, as well as authority to levy stiff penalties on violators Case Study: Smuggling of Parrots from Mexico to the United States. Due to serious diseases such as avian influenza (bird flu) ( and exotic Newcastle disease ( hes/a_a160.htm), most countries have strict rules and regulations on e/animals/parrot.jpg 120
15 the importation of poultry and birds. In 1971, an epidemic of exotic Newcastle disease in a major poultry-producing area of southern California was eradicated - at a cost of $56 million. However, the high value of parrots and related birds provides an incentive for some people to skirt these laws. It is estimated by about 2 million parrots are traded legally or illegally each year. From , over 1.8 million parrots were legally traded in international commerce, of which 80% were imported into the United States. Each year, about 250,000 parrots are imported into the United States for sale as pets. An additional 25,000 wild parrots are smuggled across the Texas border each year. Moreover, an additional 25,000 parrots die of suffocation or inhumane treat while being smuggled across the border. Theoretically, trade in Mexican and South American parrots was virtually eliminated under the Wild Bird Conservation Act passed by the U.S. Congress in However, enforcement of the new federal law is very difficult due to the lucrative profits that are made on imported birds, and the lack of funding for inspections at the Mexican border. Parrots that cost $15 each in Mexico sell for $250 to $1,500 in the United States and some are sold as high as $10,000 at flea markets and pet stores. Due to such illicit profits, parrot smuggling is the second largest illegal border business in the United States next to drug smuggling. 3/03/19/borders Parrot smuggler s techniques are especially inhumane. For example, U.S. plant quarantine inspectors find illegal parrots stuffed into wheel covers and other hidden compartments in vehicles crossing the U.S-Mexican border (e.g., inside the engine air filter compartment; in sealed door panels). People also swim the birds across the Rio Grande River, floating the cages on inner tubes. Larger smuggling operations hide the birds in crates among other cargo such as fruits and vegetables in trucks that are not air conditioned. This is not only illegal, but it is also cruel to the animals which are often sedated for the trip across the border. Another reason why trade in neotropical birds should be limited is the impact that smuggling is having on wild populations in Mexico and South America. Neotropical parrots are now one of the most threatened groups of birds due to international trade and habitat destruction. At least 42 (30%) of the 140 parrot species found in the 121
16 Western Hemisphere are now threatened with extinction for various reasons. Table 1. Primary Threats to 42 Endangered Neotropical Parrots in the Western Hemisphere.
