APHIS Allows Citrus Imports From All of Peru

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service announced it will allow imports of citrus fruit from all regions of Peru effective Sept. 14 (here). Previously, imports from only five regions were allowed entry into the continental U.S. However, after further evaluation, APHIS said the restrictions currently in place for those five regions would effectively mitigate the pest risk for citrus from all other parts of Peru.
