I had 4 packages inspected by F&WL last year. Total cost $460.00. They opened
and inspected one, just opened another and never touched the other two, yet
they were each $115 a pop. All were from the Philippines, all came through
Alaska and all were shipped UPS. Changed carrier who did not bring in through
Alaska and the problem went away.
