Sec. 330.210  Packing materials and containers for plant pest movement; 
host materials.

    Plant pests moved into or through the United States, or interstate, 
must be free of soil, except when the Deputy Administrator approves in 
the permit the movement of soil with the plant pest. Subject to this 
exception, only approved packing materials are to be employed in the 
shipment of plant pests. Approved packing materials for the movement of 
plant pests under this part will be prescribed in administrative 
instructions or approved in specific cases by the Deputy Administrator. 
Such actions will be coordinated with and may supplement any

requirements of the Post Office Department governing packing and 
packaging of any materials for movements covered by the postal laws and 
regulations. All containers shall be stoutly constructed so as to 
prevent breakage in transit and danger of plant pest dissemination and 
shall be labeled in accordance with Sec. 330.211. The Deputy 
Administrator may allow the movement of host materials with plant pests 
under permits when they must necessarily accompany the pests, although 
such movement is otherwise barred under the Plant Protection Act.
