APHIS Proposes to Allow Imports of Fresh Beans from Jordan

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is asking for comments by July 1 on a proposed rule that would allow imports of beans from Jordan into the continental U.S. The proposal covers fresh French, green, snap, and string beans, either shelled or in pods. As a condition for entry would include requirements for packing, washing, and processing, and the beans would have to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate from the Jordanian government.
