100 BUREAU OF PLANT QUARANTINE [Oct.-Dec. 
Should any shipment of fruits or vegetables be found to be so infested with 
fruit flies or other dangerous pests that in the judgment of the inspector of the 
Department of Agriculture it can not be cleaned by disinfection or treatment, or 
to contain leaves, twigs, or other portions of plants as packing or otherwise, the 
entire shipment may be refused entry. 
No crate, box, hamper, or other container of fruits or vegetables, or fruits and 
vegetables in bulk, shall be removed from the port of first arrival unless and until 
a written notice is given to the collector of customs by the inspector of the United 
States Department of Agriculture that the products have been inspected and 
found to be free from infestation and from plants or portions of plants used as 
packing or otherwise: Provided, That the requirements under these regulations 
with respect to the entry of foreign fruits and vegetables into any State for local 
consumption shall not be a bar to the enforcement of such additional safeguards 
as may be deemed necessary by the officials of such States. 
All charges for storage, cartage, and labor incident to inspection and disin- 
fection, other than the services of the inspector, shall be paid by the importer.

restricted fruits or vegetables or plants or portions of plants which may be
