Terminal Inspection Act of 1916
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Terminal Inspection Act of 1916 was a part of the Rural Post Roads Act of 1916.[1] It prohibited a person from sending, through the U.S. mail to a state address, a package containing a plant or plant product unless the package's contents were plainly marked. The act was one of the earliest legal forms of early detection of and rapid response to invasive species.[1]
