摘要：	The Manual for Agricultural Clearance (MAC) provides Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel working at airport, maritime, and land border locations with guidelines, directions, and policy for excluding pests that are a threat to American agriculture. CBP personnel will prevent pests from entering the United States by performing the following duties: Examining cargo and associated documentation; Examining carriers; Clearing passengers, crew, and their baggage; Examining international mail; Preventing the spread of pests; Preparing plant pest interceptions. CBP clears carriers and passengers and controls garbage and cargo to minimize the risk of introducing plant pests and/or animal diseases into the United States. This manual provides the information necessary to accomplish those clearance tasks that are performed at airports, maritime ports, and land border points of entry. As a part of excluding pests, CBP will also perform Agriculture Quarantine Inspection Monitoring (AQIM) activities on passengers, vehicles and cargo that enter at ports of entry. This activity is a critical step to providing USDA with risk information that ultimately provides additional direction and policy for better exclusion of pests. CBP personnel can find AQIM definitions, steps, procedures and other related information in the online USDA, APHIS, AQIM Handbook. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
