Apple Shippers Alerted to Change in Export Requirements for Brazil
On November 7, 2023, the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) informed the NHC that apples exported to Brazil from the states of Washington, Idaho, and Oregon must be cold treated. Brazil recently informed APHIS that the three states are not approved to use the systems approach protocol.
Apples cold treated for Mexico qualify for export to Brazil.
