Yes, California’s ag quarantine/inspection laws are about pests (and the prohibited without certificate imports are part of those laws). California is unusual in enforcing its quarantine laws with border inspections, but not in having them.

State ag quarantine laws are common and have generally been held Constitutional absent federal action that overlaps with or expressly preempts them.
