Title: Importation of Fresh Citrus Fruit From the Republic of South Africa Into the Continental United States | |
Abstract:
This notice will allow the importation of several varieties of fresh citrus fruit, as well as citrus hybrids, into the continental United States from areas in the Republic of South Africa where citrus black spot has been known to occur. As a condition of entry, the fruit will have to be produced in accordance with a systems approach that includes shipment traceability, packinghouse registration and procedures, and phytosanitary treatment. The fruit will also be required to be imported in commercial consignments and accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of the Republic of South Africa with an additional declaration confirming that the fruit has been produced in accordance with the systems approach. This action will allow for the importation of fresh citrus fruit, including citrus hybrids, from the Republic of South Africa while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of plant pests into the United States. This notice is being issued pursuant to the terms set forth in a September 14, 2018 final rule (83 FR 46627-46639, Docket No. APHIS-2010-0082), which established a notice-based process for authorizing the importation of fruits and vegetables into the United States. |
