APHIS Allows Importation of Two More Unshu Orange Hybrids

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is amending its regulations to allow importation of two unshu orange hybrids from South Korea into the continental U.S., effective Jan. 30 (here). Under the agency’s final rule, the Shiranuhi and Setoka varieties may now be imported subject to the same conditions as those in place for Swingle unshu orange hybrids, which are already eligible for importation. The final rule also stipulates that all types of unshu oranges and unshu orange hybrids may only be imported in commercial consignments.
