USDA Proposes Updates to Fruit and Vegetable Importation Regulations

The US Department of Agriculture is proposing to update its regulations for importing and transporting fruits and vegetables, aiming to streamline the process and make it more responsive to evolving pest situations. The proposed changes would allow for the approval of new fruits and vegetables for importation using a notice-based process, removing region- and commodity-specific phytosanitary requirements.
