Title: Importation of Lemons From Northwest Argentina
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation of lemons from northwest Argentina into the continental United States. Lemons from northwest Argentina would be required to be imported in commercial consignments, produced and packed under specified conditions, treated with a surface disinfectant and inspected for quarantine pests before shipping, and accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate. This action would allow for the importation of lemons from northwest Argentina into the United States while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests.
