USA – Pest Risk Analysis for Apple imported from Vietnam

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has issued notification, advising the public that we have prepared a pest risk analysis that evaluates the risks associated with importation of fresh star apple fruit from Viet Nam into the continental United States. Based on the analysis, we have determined that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of fresh star apple fruit from Viet Nam. We are making the pest risk analysis available to the public for review and comment.
