Mangoes From Mexico

We are soliciting public comment on approaches to reducing the risk of fruit flies being introduced into the United States in shipping containers and in the beds of trucks that have been used to transport untreated mangoes from Mexico through the United States to Canada. These containers and truck beds have been found to contain larvae and pupae of fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha at the time they reenter the United States after being unloaded in Canada. We believe some measures need to be taken to reduce the risk of fruit flies being introduced into the United States by contaminated containers and truck beds entering from Canada.
