Celebrate Día de los Muertos: Bring the memories, leave prohibited agricultural items behind
CBP 在圣地亚哥发布提醒，亡灵节（11 月 1 日至 2 日）期间禁止携带橙茉莉（Murraya）入境，因其可能携带可传播柑橘黄龙病（HLB）的亚洲柑橘木虱。万寿菊仅允许以切花形式入境，不得用于繁殖或种植；CBP 还禁止橙子、葡萄柚、橘子、酸橙、甜柠檬、番石榴、芒果、桃和石榴等水果入境。此外，来自墨西哥的番茄和辣椒植株因可能携带番茄褐色皱果病毒而被禁止入境。未申报违禁农产品者可能面临罚款，个人进口为 $500 起，商业进口最高 $250,000。CBP 建议旅客不确定时一律申报，并可查阅“Bringing Food into the U.S.”和“Can I Bring it?”网页。
SAN DIEGO — Día de los Muertos, widely celebrated from Nov. 1 through Nov. 2, is a time to honor and remember loved ones through colorful altars, meaningful traditions and beautiful floral displays. As border communities prepare for the festivities, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reminds travelers to bring the festive spirit but leave certain prohibited plants and produce behind.
CBP prohibits several popular Día de los Muertos decorations, including orange jasmine, also known as Murraya, from entering the United States. While this greenery may look like the perfect addition to an altar, it can carry the Asian citrus psyllid, a small insect capable of spreading citrus huanglongbing, also known as HLB or citrus greening.
HLB is one of the most serious citrus diseases worldwide. It affects nearly all citrus varieties and can also affect certain ornamental plants. Since researchers first detected HLB in Florida in 2005, the disease has remained incurable. The disease can kill citrus trees and reduce citrus production.
Travelers should also know that CBP admits the vibrant yellow and orange marigolds traditionally used in Día de los Muertos memorials only as cut flowers, and travelers must not import them for propagation or planting. CBP also prohibits several fruits, including oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, sour oranges, sweet limes, guavas, mangoes, peaches and pomegranates. In addition, CBP prohibits tomato and pepper plants from Mexico because they may carry tomato brown rugose fruit virus, which can cause significant damage to domestic tomato and pepper crops.
Travelers who fail to declare prohibited agricultural products may face penalties ranging from $500 for personal importations to $250,000 for commercial importations. Declaring agricultural items helps protect American farms, gardens and communities.
This Día de los Muertos, bring your memories and traditions with you, but leave prohibited plants and produce behind. Remember, when in doubt, declare all items!
For more information on how travelers can safeguard America’s agricultural industry and avoid importing prohibited items, consult the “Bringing Food into the U.S.” and “Can I Bring it?” webpages.
