This has led todelayed entry to ports in the United States and Canada.As a reminder, for vessels to avoid potential delays to port entry in North America, they should:acquire AGM certification;depart from regulated ports as soon as possible following the issuance of AGM certification;andconduct self-checking while en route to North America to remove and destroy all egg massesdetected.Although the U.S. and Canada are in full agreement on therequirement for AGM pre-departure certification and vessels arriving free from all AGMlife forms (egg masses, pupae, adults), due to sovereign regulations and policies, thereremain differences in port-of-entry processes between the two countries.Please contactlocal inspection authorities in the port of entry if you have any questions regarding AGMimport requirements or clearance procedures.
