inspected, the USDA also looks for dirt, grass, plant seeds in
the interior as well as the exterior and for anything that they
consider invasive to the U.S Continent. If you fail the USDA
inspection Our Affliate shipper will be unable to ship your
vehicle until the vehicle has been properly cleaned and
re-inspected by the USDA.

windshields or windows can not be shipped.
