If there is a fruit fly quarantine in effect -- such as we currently have in many parts of San Diego county, then the CDFA requires that the leaves be removed. If you also remove all the soil and dangling roots, then it can be shipped as "dormant plant material" with no inspection required -- provided you also list your nursery stock license on the label.
