AG inspections coming into US at hwy 97 (Oroville)

Be aware that they are doing an Ag search of all RVs heading into the US at the highway 97 crossing. They will collect any produce that does not have what they consider proper documentation. Best to be light on veggies/fruits when crossing this border station.

  • That crossing has always been one of the worst, in both directions.
  • Good........

    If you are carrying any of the following items you MUST disclose them to the US border official:

    Fruits and vegetables
    Plants and cut flowers
    Meat and animal products
    Live animals

    The regulations change from time-to-time because they are based on current perceived threats to the U.S. Fines for bringing a prohibited or restricted item across the border range form $100 to $50,000

    Regulations on food and meat products change constantly. Many will be confiscated at the border. You can check the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Automated Import Reference System for more information or call the CBIS.
  • “They?” The State of California seeking to protect our agricultural industry isn’t “they.” It’s us. Long overdue. Dont “be light.” Be in compliance.
