1 Require that each consignment be certified as Tasmanian origin by an authorized official of Tasmania, and that each container
be marked to identify it as being of Tasmanian origin.
2 Consignments of apples and pears must be precleared and accompanied by an original PPQ Form 203 completed and signed
by the APHIS officer in Australia. Currently, only apples and pears from the Goulburn Valley are authorized for preclearance.
3 If treatment has not been completed before entry, HOLD the consignment and CONTACT PPQ through proper channels. The
fruits or vegetables may arrive in the U.S. only:
At ports located north of 39 o latitude and east of 104 o longitude
At ports that have approved cold treatment facilities (refer to the PPQ Treatment Manual for a list of current approved cold
treatment facilities
4 If the light-brown apple moth is intercepted, require T101-a-1. HOLD consignment and CONTACT PPQ through proper

Department of Primary Industries) affirming the commodity was produced in an area free from the red-legged earth mite,
Halotydeus destructor (Tucker).
6 Consignments of cherries must be accompanied by phytosanitary certificate issued by an Australian State Department of
Agriculture (or Queensland Department of Primary Industries) certifying that the fruit either received the required treatment or
originated from a fruit fly free area. The Phytosanitary Certificate must also include an additional declaration that states: “The
fruit in this consignment was inspected and found free of Epiphyas postvittana.”
Check the "ORIGIN" block on the phytosanitary certificate to determine the Australian state in which the commodity was grown.
The treatment depends on the state in which the cherries were grown.
If the consignment was grown in Eastern Australia (defined as the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, New South
Wales, and Victoria),it could be treated using T107-d-1,T108-a-1, T108-a-2, or T108-a-3 (However, there are no preclearance
programs in Australia at this time. Therefore, fumigation can be conducted as a port of entry treatment ONLY.)
If the consignment was grown in Western Australia,it could be treated using T101-s-1-1,T108-a-1, T108-a-2, or T108-a-3 (However,
there are no preclearance programs in Australia at this time. Therefore, fumigation can be conducted as a port of entry
treatment ONLY.)
