U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations agriculture specialists assigned to the Hidalgo International Bridge seized a large quantity of prohibited and undeclared fruits and fresh plant leaves and issued a civil penalty.
“Failing to declare prohibited agricultural items can turn into a significant expense, costing the traveler more than what they wanted to bring into the United States,” said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez, Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas Port of Entry.
On July 24, CBP officers at Hidalgo International Bridge referred a vehicle for a secondary inspection by agriculture specialists.
