 QUARANTINES  AND  REGULATIONS  AFFECTIONG   INTERSTATE  SHIPMENTS 
 
 HAWAII 
 
 The  information  contained  in  this  summary  was  compiled  from  material 
 received  from  the  plant  quarantine  official  of  Hawaii  and  has  been  approved 
 "by  him.   It  is  issued  for  the  convenience  of  plant  quarantine  inspectors, 
 shippers,  transportation  agents,  and  othersconcerned  in  the  interstate 
 movement  of  plants,  plant  products,  and  other  materials  subject  to 
 Territorial  regulation  on  account  of  plant  pests. 
 
 The  summary  for  Hawaii  gives  the  general  requirements  for  shipping 
 nursery  stock  into  that  Territory,  as  well  as  digests  of  the  Territorial 
 plant  quarantines  and  regulations  affecting  interstate  shipments.   An  ap- 
 pendix furnishes  information  on  post-office  requirements  for  mailing  plants 
 as  well  as  terminal-inspection  procedure.   This  summary  ioes  not  include 
 digests  of  nursery-stock  and  plant  quarantine  requirements  relating  to  the 
 movement  of  plants  entirely  within  the  Territory  ^ 
 
 The  information  contained  in  this  circular  is  believed  to  be  correct 
 and  complete  up  to  the  time  of  preparation,  but  it  is  not  intended  to  be 
 used  independently  of  or  as  a  substitute  for  the  original  texts  of  the 
 regulations  and  quarantines,  and  it  is  not  to  be  interpreted  as  legally 
 authoritative.   For  fie  tailed  information  address  the  Plant  Quarantine 
 Inspector  In  Charge,  Board  of  Commissioners  of  Agriculture  and  Forestry, 
 P.  0.  Box  3310,  Honolulu,  Hawaii, 
 
 In  addition  to  Territorial  requirements,  shippers  will  need  to  take 
 into  consideration  applicable  plant  quarantines  of  the  United  States 
 Dep-^rtm^nt  of  Agriculture.   In  most  instances  these  quarantines  regulate 
 the  interstate  movement  of  specified  plants,  plant  products,  and  other 
 articles  from  designated  regulated  areas.   However,  some  of  these  quarantines 
 regulate  the  interstate  movement  of  certain  articles  into  designated  protected 
 areas.   Copies  of  such  quarantines  may  be  obtained  from  the  Bureau  of 
 Entomology  and  Plant  Quarantine,  Washington  25,  D.  C.
