Insects and Mites

A PPQ 526 permit is required for the importation, interstate movement and environmental release of all insects and mites that feed upon or infest plants or plant products, including agricultural crops, trees, shrubs, native plants, etc.

We also suggest that you review list of the domestic quarantine notices.  This link has the current federal regulations regarding the interstate movement of specific plant pests, plant diseases, and plants.  Each subpart (major heading) covers a different organism.
