All plants require inspection upon entry into the state.
Plants must be apparently free of insects and diseases. Plants do not need to be bare-rooted but the growing media cannot contain soil. Shipments must be accompanied with an invoice or packing manifest listing the contents and quantities of the commodities imported. Some are subject to a holding period in a quarantine facility. Restrictions on the importation of hosts of the Red Imported Fire Ant into the State of Hawaii are also in effect.
