    Any material refused entry for noncompliance with the requirements 
of this subpart shall be promptly removed from the United States or 
abandoned by the importer for destruction, and pending such action shall 
be subject to the immediate application of such safeguards against 
escape of plant pests as the inspector may prescribe. If such material 
is not promptly safeguarded by the importer, removed from the United 
States, or abandoned for destruction to the satisfaction of the 
inspector it may be seized, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of in

incidental to the safeguarding or disposal of material refused entry by 
the inspector, nor will the Department of Agriculture or the inspector 
assume responsibility for the value of material destroyed.
