4 The garlic consignment must be accompanied by a Phytosanitary Certificate (PC) with an Additional Declaration (AD) attesting
freedom from Brachycerus spp. or Dyspessa ulula. Consignment is admissible into the continental U.S. only and is subject to
inspection. If inspection reveals the target pests (Brachycerus spp. or D. ulula), the required fumigation, T101-e-2, is a
fumigation under vacuum. However, as of October 2008, there are no APHIS-approved commercial vacuum chambers in the
US. Consignments with target pests must be reexported, destroyed, or returned to the country of origin.
5 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
