No, plants cannot be brought into the US commercially without removing all
foreign matter from the root system. This is a very painstaking process
and not cheap. Usually, the end user does this and does not charge
himself, so the cost is hidden. But if the importer must do it prior to
clearing customs, it is very costly. The plants would cost many tens of
dollars each.
