USDA Has New Database of Import Requirements for Fruits and Vegetables
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service launched October 29.
The Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service launched Oct. 29 a new database of import requirements for fruits and vegetables. The FAVIR database allows customers to search for authorized fruits and vegetables by commodity or country and to quickly and easily determine the general requirements for their importation into the U.S. This database will include emergency pest notifications to alert users if there is a change in the import status of a commodity or country. It also allows APHIS officials and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agricultural inspectors to quickly determine whether or not a commodity is authorized entry into the U.S. as well as the general requirements for importation.
