The process includes the random selection of boxes (4 out of 10) that are to be thoroughly inspected. The boxes are cut open (at the plastic bindings) and the cardboard itself is split open (perforated) in certain sections to check for any other items that may be getting shipped along with the heliconias. This allows for piece-of-mind from the growers, all the way up to the buyers themselves that the boxes are getting shipped the way they were intended to be shipped. The bracts of the heliconias are also inspected to make sure they are all hollowed out and free of foreign objects. Once this has occurred, they rebind the boxes and are then placed on the plane. When the boxes arrive to their first port-of-entry in the United States, customs agents go through the same process of inspecting the heliconias as a double-check standard. They are then placed inside the cargo plane to reach its final destination, the buyer.
