APHIS Proposes to Allow Mango Imports from Jamaica
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is proposing to allow imports of fresh mangoes from Jamaica to the continental United States. Under the proposal, Jamaican mangoes would have to be produced in ways that mitigate the risk of fruit flies, soft scale insects, and diseases. They would also have to be inspected before exportation from Jamaica, imported in commercial consignments, and accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Jamaican government. Comments on the proposed rule are due by June 16.
