Federally Recognized Quarantine Business Permit

The foundation for businesses moving regulated articles within or through quarantine zones. This permit verifies that your company understands and follows USDA APHIS requirements for inspection, documentation, and transport. Train your team, pass the assessment, and maintain proof of compliance so you can keep operating, win contracts, and avoid costly citations or shutdowns—while showing customers and regulators that you take quarantine rules seriously.

Timber & Forestry Regulations

The Spotted Lanternfly quarantine strictly regulates the movement of wood products. Timber operators, loggers, and sawmill managers must implement rigorous inspection protocols to prevent the transport of egg masses and live insects across county and state lines.

Harvest & Impact

Quarantine rules affect every stage of timber harvest. Logging equipment, raw logs, and chips must be thoroughly inspected before leaving the job site. Failure to comply can lead to immediate work stoppages and significant fines for the timber owner and contractor.

Required Documentation

Operators must carry valid movement permits, official load documentation, and verifiable proof of employee training. These records demonstrate that your crew is qualified to identify SLF life stages and prevent infestation spread during wood products transport.
