2020-AMS-00076-F 7/8/2019 Barserian, Kalem Requesting information pertaining to inspections of dried grapes, currant raisins, sultana raisins, and raisin imports under 608(e) of the Federal 

Raisin Marketing Order 989. Specifically, our reason is for fact-finding and confirming the amount of dried grapes and other raisin categories that 

were physically inspected upon entrance into the United States during the calendar year 2018. Records show 48,328 metric tons were imported 

into the United States as published by the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service. I believe that the USDA's Processed Products Division, who 

conducts both domestic and import inspections, would have this information and would show if all 48,328 metric tons were inspected upon entry 

to the United States, or if the actual tons inspected were a smaller percentage of what was imported.
