Transportation of Berberis, Mahoberberis and Mahonia - "Protected Areas"

Interstate movement of rust-susceptible Berberis, Mahoberberis, or Mahonia into or through protected areas is prohibited, except with a limited permit (which is issued under certain circumstances, as described in the regulations). State officials within the protected areas are responsible for issuing the certificates required for interstate movement, and for inspecting every plant nursery within the State at least once each year to ensure that they are free of rust-susceptible plants (7 CFR Part 301.38-3).
