However, with preclearance, there's no further customs inspection when arriving in the US. How is this handled?
I'm sure there's a simple answer to this that I just can't think of at the moment...
USCBP and the US Department of Agriculture have this Manual: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-imp...ance-locations
