>From what I've been able to ascertain-- they average around $15 USD
(translated into local currencies). The trickier question is what do
inspectors do and how do they do it?  As far as I know it's a visual
inspection only, maybe using a hand magnifier.  I suspect (and I made thi=s
comment on another list) that the whole thing may be to provide a paper
trail to check on those who would want to make fake papers so that Homela=nd
Security could have some kind of handle on anybody  deciding to make fake
documentatiion  in order to introduce pathogens, in addition to having a
slightly better agricultural barrier to plant pathogens.

On the other hand, there may not be a RATIONAL explanation.
