Fumigation Activity at the Area Port of Norfolk, VA
CBP has notified the trade that fumigation operations are taking place at the Area Port of Norfolk, Virginia, which may affect cargo availability and processing timelines for shipments subject to agricultural inspection or hold at that port. Importers with perishable or time-sensitive cargo at Norfolk should coordinate closely with their broker on potential delays.
Broker's Take
Fumigation holds can add unpredictable dwell time at Norfolk; we advise clients expecting USDA-regulated commodities through this port to build schedule buffer and confirm cargo status proactively with the port.
