Is there a de minimis exception?

Effective April 1, 2020, the amended final rule for the Lacey Act Implementation Plan: De Minimis Exception establishes certain exceptions from the requirement that a declaration be filed when importing certain plants and plant products. Specifically, it establishes an exception to the declaration requirement for products with minimal amounts of plant material. The final rule also establishes a new section to specify the conditions under which a plant import declaration must be filed and what information it must include. These conditions reflect the provisions of the Act and provide additional context for the exceptions.
