We are amending the fruits and vegetables regulations to list
a number of fruits and vegetables from certain parts of the world as
eligible, under specified conditions, for importation into the United
States. Many of these fruits and vegetables have been eligible for
importation under permit, but were not specifically listed in the
regulations. All of the fruits and vegetables, as a condition of entry,
will be inspected and subject to treatment at the port of first arrival
as may be required by an inspector. In addition, some of the fruits and
vegetables will be required to be treated or meet other special
conditions. We are also recognizing areas in several countries as free
from certain fruit flies; adding, modifying, or removing certain
definitions; modifying existing treatment requirements for specified
commodities; and making other miscellaneous changes. These actions will
improve the transparency of our regulations while continuing to protect
against the introduction of quarantine pests through imported fruits
and vegetables.
