APHIS Proposes to Allow Imports of Jackfruit, Pineapple, and Starfruit from Malaysia

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is proposing to allow imports of fresh jackfruit, pineapple and starfruit from Malaysia into the continental U.S. The fruits would have to be irradiated for insect pests, inspected, and imported in commercial consignments. Each fruit would also be subject to its own additional requirements for associated pests, APHIS said. Comments on the proposed rule are due by July 6.
