| 2018-07073 | Importation of Lemons From Chile Into the Continental United States | Rule | We are amending the fruits and vegetables regulations to list lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f.) from Chile as eligible for importation into the continental United States subject to a systems approach. Under this systems approach, the fruit will have to be grown in a place of production that is registered with the Government of Chile and certified as having a low prevalence of Brevipalpus chilensis. The fruit will have to undergo pre-harvest sampling at the registered production site under the direction of Chile's national plant protection organization. Following post-harvest processing, the fruit will have to be inspected in Chile at an APHIS-approved inspection site. Each consignment of fruit will have to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that the fruit had been found free of B. chilensis based on field and packinghouse inspections. This final rule will allow for the safe importation of lemons from Chile using mitigation measures other than fumigation with methyl bromide. | 2018-04-06 | 2018 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/04/06/2018-07073/importation-of-lemons-from-chile-into-the-continental-united-states | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-04-06/pdf/2018-07073.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are amending the fruits and vegetables regulations to list lemon (Citrus limon (L.)
