Notes on Regulation

General Note on Treatments:

Terms

These regulations refer explicitly to the mainland United States comprising the lower 48 states, the District of Columbia, and Alaska but excluding Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Central and Northern Mariana Islands. These excluded areas are islands that are geographically isolated from the mainland. In general, islands have unique ecologies that necessitate differential and more restrictive regulatory treatment with regard to plant health, both with imports and exports.

Typically, APHIS regulations identify goods at the taxonomic level of species. For example, citrus paradisi is grapefruit where “citrus” is the genus and “paradisi” is the species. In some cases, regulations may apply at the more inclusive taxonomic level of genus. A regulation that citrus spp. is permitted from a given country indicates that all fruits of the citrus genus are permitted including citrus limona, citrus sinensis, and citrus paradisi. In other cases, regulations may apply to specific varieties or cultivars of a species. For example, Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis indicates cantaloupe while Cucumis melo var. inodorus indicates honeydew. Both cantaloupe and honeydew are varieties of muskmelons.

APHIS regulations also identify which part or parts of the plant are permitted entry. Our data refers to the plant part most commonly eaten. In most cases, this causes little confusion. In some cases, such as onions (both stalk and bulb are eaten) and bananas (the plant leaf is also eaten), the APHIS regulations should be referred to.

Permitted Import – APHIS may periodically restrict the entry of commodities despite having a regulatory program in place for its entry. In these rare cases, the origin country lacks the infrastructure or logistical capacity to ensure the commodity’s pest free status. For example, certain goods from ECOWAS (West African) countries are permitted entry to the U.S. if irradiated. Because no irradiation facilities have been certified by APHIS in those countries, APHIS is not issuing import permits.

Destination Restriction – The commodity’s movement is restricted within the U.S. following importation. Destination restrictions are typically utilized if a pest endemic to a commodity has a very specific host that is geographically isolated.

Origin Restriction – The region from which a commodity can originate within a country is restricted. Typically, the region is one that has been certified as a pest-free by the relevant plant health regulatory authority. Shipments typically require a phytosanitary certificate (a “Phyto”) verifying the shipment’s provenance.

Phyto Certificate Required – A “phyto” is the colloquial terms for a phytosanitary certificate issued by the plant health regulatory authority in the country of origin. The U.S. typically requires that a shipment be accompanied by a phyto if there are regional restrictions, process restrictions or pre-shipment inspection restrictions. For example, if plant product can only arrive in the U.S. if it has been grown in a greenhouse, than it typically must be accompanied by a phyto documenting that.

Preclearance Possible – The shipments may arrive pre-cleared. In this case, all relevant phytosanitary inspection functions have been performed in the origin country by an employee of the U.S. government. This inspection, however, does not represent whatever security inspection that the Department of Homeland Security might conduct upon arrival and the shipment may still be re-inspected for pest in the U.S.

Treatment Required – APHIS may require that a treatment be required as a condition of entry. The information on the far right provide information on which specific treatments are required.

Origin Release From Treatment – indicates that a treatment is not required if the commodity comes from a particular region of the country.

Phyto Release From Treatment –indicates that a treatment is not required is the commodity is accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate attesting to a certain condition of production for the commodity.

Required Treatments – Treatment requirements are specific to the commodity and pest. Within a category of treatment (T101 – Methyl Bromide Fumigation), the dosage, duration and ambient temperature requirements of the treatment vary.

T101 –Fumigation– Fumigation with methyl bromide gas. This treatment takes 0.5 to 4 hours.

T102 – Water Dip – Immersion of the commodity in hot or soapy water. Treatment time varies by pest, but is less than 110 minutes in all cases and may be 20 minutes more frequently.

T103 – Hot Air – exposure to forced hot air, similar to vapor heat but differing in the humidity of the air involved. Typically requires 1.5 to 4 hours.

T104 – Methyl Bromide – Fumigation with methyl bromide gas. This treatment takes 0.5 to 2 hours and is similar in nature to T101 Treatments T105 – Irradiation – Exposure of commodity to radiant energy (x-rays or gamma rays)

T106 – Vapor Heat – exposure to vapor heat, similar to hot air similar to forced hot air but differing in the humidity of the air involved.

T107 – Cold Treatment – prolonged exposure (typically 2 weeks) to cold, though not freezing, temperatures.T108 – Fumigation Then Cold Treatment – a combination of fumigation and cold-treatmentsT109 – Cold Treatment then Fumigation – a combination of fumigation and cold-treatmentsT110 – Quick Freeze – exposure to freezing temperatures for a several day period.

For 29 commodities in the following, specific action and risk rates are compiled for inspection of commodity imports as recorded in the PPQ 280 database maintained by USDA APHIS. In this dataset, imported commodities, whether they are inspected or not, are assigned a disposition code along with the quantity imported in kilograms. The first two letter of the disposition code described the action take, The second two letters describe the risk (if any) . The action and risk rates describe the percentages of goods entering the U.S. assigned a disposition code that respectively indicate a pest risk or action taken (other than the release of the good for having no risk). These rates are disaggregated into the percentages of the respective risks or actions taken. Further background information are provided in the related 2014 report.

The NARP program allows shipments of commondities in APHIS designated low risk pathways to entered the U.S. without being inspected for pest risk. A small portion of shipments, typically less than 10%, are inspeted thoroughly to re-verify that the pathway is low risk.

Preclearance programs allow goods to be inspected in the country of origin before shipments depart for the U.S. Their dispositions are not recorded in the PPQ 280 data. The preclearance rate describes the percentage of imports that enter the U.S. already preclearance.
