USDA Quarantine Fumigations 
Shipments that arrive at US ports-of-entry are inspected by CBP/Agriculture (Custom Border Protection) for invasive species whose introduction could cause serious damage to our forests and our agricultural system.  In addition, many commodities such as yams, bamboo &seeds, certain perishable fruits and vegetables are known carriers of these pests and automatically require treatment as a 'condition of entry".  USDA has a zero-tolerance for these pests, and when found, the shipment is quarantined and importers are given 3 choices:
  •  Re-export
  •  Destroy
  •  Treat to eradicate the pest
The preferred option for many is treatment which must be carried out at an approved facility under the direct supervision of government officials. 

At Vanguard we have over 30 years of experience providing solutions to our customers that need to move their goods through the port as quickly and efficiently as possible. We have a thorough understanding of the quarantine requirements of the US and its trading partners. We also have established relationships with CBP, USDA, APHIS and the FDA to help make sure your goods are treated as quickly as possible, avoiding costly delays such as per diem charges.

Our quarantine treatment facility is conveniently located directly in the heart of Port Newark. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to ensure your goods are protected and that the fumigation process is expeditied. We also have temperature-controlled areas to ensure your highly-perishable commodities are well cared for.

Other Import Fumigations Services
​Shipments of raw agricultural products, (cocoa beans, herbs and spices, rice, etc.) along with shipments containing wooden packing materials are often times infested with pests that pose a threat to our food manufacturing, storage and pharmaceutical industries.  These industries also have a zero tolerance for these pests and will not allow these shipments into their facilities until they have been treated.


   At Vanguard, we have the knowledge and experience              to solve your problems.
