2 The consignment must be accompanied by a Phytosanitary Certificate (PC) with an Additional Declaration (AD) attesting to
freedom from Brachycerus spp. and Dyspessa ulula. Consignment is admissible into the continental U.S. only and is subject
to inspection at the first point of entry. 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.
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 Consignments of green tomatoes from Algeria require an import permit and port of entry inspection. Consignments must be
accompanied by a Phytosanitary Certificate (PC) with an Additional Declaration (AD) stating EITHER of the following:
"Tomato fruit in this consignment originate from a pest-free area that meets the requirements of 7CFR 319.56-5, and are free
of Tuta absoluta."
OR
"Tomato fruit in this consignment have been produced in accordance with an APHIS approved systems approach, and have
been visually inspected and are free of Tuta absoluta." (See Federal Order #DA-2010-15.)
REFER to FAVIR for the "Inspection Aid for Tuta absoluta".
5 Because treatment is required, HOLD consignment and CONTACT PPQ through proper channels.
