Final Rule: Importation of Fresh Mango Fruit From Viet Nam Into the Continental United States [Docket No. APHIS-2016-0026]

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is amending the regulations to allow the importation of fresh mango fruit from Viet Nam into the continental United States. As a condition of entry, fresh mango fruit from Viet Nam will be subject to a systems approach that includes orchard or packinghouse requirements, irradiation treatment, and port of entry inspection. The fruit will also be required to be imported in commercial consignments and accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of Viet Nam with an additional declaration stating that the consignment was inspected and found free of Macrophoma mangiferae and Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae. This action will allow for the importation of fresh mango fruit from Viet Nam while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of plant pests into the continental United States.
