There are agricultural inspection stations on I-10 and I-75 entering
Florida, but there are no such stations on the many alternate routes.
The inspection stations along the interstate are for commercial
traffic and private drivers are not required to stop. You can drive
unchecked across the border with unicorn horns and moonshine in the
trunk and nobody will notice or look twice.

Never been to Arizona or California. Haven't made it that far west yet.
