CBP agriculture specialists at Brownsville intercepted live wood-boring insects on two shipments of stainless steel sheets transported on solid wood packaging materials, CBP said. The insects, quarantine-significant bark beetles of the Scolytidae family, were collected Dec. 27 from wooden pallets used in the transport of stainless steel sheets being imported into the U.S. from Mexico. As a result, the shipment was sent back to Mexico. CBP said its specialists in Brownsville have discovered such pests multiple times in shipments from various importers, and importers who have made multiple attempts to enter with violative wood materials have been penalized.
