the introduction of insect pests and plant diseases into the plant cultures of 
this country. These quarantines and orders do not always provide the most 
practical procedure for handling the following special cases:

within the territory of the United States for transshipment and exportation. 
(2) Landing or unloading of restricted or prohibited plants and plant products 
within the territory of the United States for transfer and transportation and 
exportation in bond. 
(3) Arrival within the territory of the United States of restricted or pro- 
hibited plants and plant products the landing or unloading of which is not 
intended (plants and plant products in sea stores, in ships' stores, in ships' fur- 
nishings, in quarters, or as cargo en route to another destination, etc.). 
(4) The safeguarding or disposal of plants and plant products which are 
prohibited entry, or for which entry has been refused, while they are in United 
States territory. 
This order i3 intended to apply, therefore, to restricted or prohibited plants 
and plant products when they are deemed to fall within the above categories; in 
such cases they will be subject to the regulations herein promulgated, though 
otherwise remaining subject to the provisions of specific quarantines or orders.
