The US Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has completed a pest risk analysis that evaluates the pest risks associated with importing fresh avocado fruit (Persea americana var Hass) from Guatemala into the United States.
Based on careful analyses and thorough research, APHIS has determined that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds into the United States.
APHIS is making the pest risk analysis and risk mitigation documents available to the public for review and comment for a 60-day period ending May 28, 2024. To view the documents or submit comments, go to www.regulations.gov and enter APHIS-2024-0014 in the Search field.
