Bro customs is so annoying, I visited Africa and I wanted to bring back Algerian Ivy but they wouldn’t let me bring it into the US. Why is this even a law?

unless you wanna be the one who brings back some exotic plant that contains some killer wasp eggs which ends up wiping out all North American bees I’d recommend following quarantine laws to protect our American natural lands that are already fucked up enough

I’m in US Virgin Islands rn (for work) and have to go through customs to get back to the continental states. It’s still the US, what could I be bringing back?

but being fr it’s for the same reason you can’t bring back a lot of fresh fruit and veg, it could carry pests or diseases that could wreck our own plants

Not necessarily, invasive plants can choke out an entire ecosystem and cause massive damages

when you’re referring to agriculture and insects, it is absolutely NOT good to bring them in from non-native areas. it could literally wreck our food supply

Do you know what a keystone species is? Invasive species can seriously mess up a native keystone species.

it doesn’t matter that it’s still “from the us” its the fact that its geographically distinct and could harm our own plants
