Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to 

carry out operations or measures to 

detect, eradicate, suppress, control, 

prevent, or retard the spread of plant 

pests new to the United States or not 

known to be widely distributed 

throughout the United States. The fruits 

and vegetables regulations allow the 

importation of commercial shipments of 

fresh longan with stems from Taiwan 

into the United States. As a condition of 

entry, the longan will be subject to cold 

treatment and special port-of-arrival 

inspection procedures for certain 

quarantine pests.

allow the import of commercial 

shipment of fresh longan with stems
