Proposed Importation of Apples from China
A proposed rule is open for public comment that would allow the importation of apples into US markets from China.
A pest risk assessment has identified 21 pests that are on US quarantine lists which could be introduced in/on apples from China. Assurances have been made that fruit will be inspected prior to harvest for signs of infestation and fumigated prior to entrance into the US. However, the importation of fruit increases the likelihood that pests, such as the Oriental Fruit Fly, the plum fruit moth and the summer fruit tortrix, could be accidentally introduced and become established.
