Question 3057Deck General70% to pass
If you intend to land tulip bulbs from Holland in a U.S. port, they must be inspected by the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Animal and Plant Health Service Inspector.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is the federal agency responsible for regulating the importation of plants and plant products, including tulip bulbs, into the United States. APHIS inspectors must inspect tulip bulbs arriving from Holland to ensure they are free of pests and diseases before allowing them to be landed at a U.S. port.
The other options are incorrect because Captain of the Port personnel and Quarantine Officers do not have the specific authority to inspect and clear imported plant materials. The correct answer is the APHIS inspector, who is the designated official responsible for this type of agricultural inspection and clearance.
