The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is amending its regulations on the importation of unshu oranges from Japan to harmonize them with U.S. citrus quarantine regulations (here). The changes remove requirements for unshu oranges from Japan to be grown in specified canker-free export areas with buffer zones, as well as for joint inspection at groves and packinghouses by the government of Japan and APHIS. The agency is also “clarifying” that surface sterilization is required for unshu oranges from Japan, as well as a phytosanitary certificate that says surface sterilization has occurred. The final rule takes effect Nov. 26.
