Fruit From Hawaii

We are allowing abiu, atemoya, longan, rambutan, and sapodilla to be moved interstate from Hawaii if the fruit undergoes irradiation treatment at an approved facility. Treatment may be conducted either in Hawaii or in non-fruit fly supporting areas of the mainland United States. The fruit will also have to meet certain additional requirements, including packaging requirements. We are also allowing durian to be moved interstate from Hawaii if the durian is inspected and found free of certain plant pests. In addition, we are allowing certain varieties of green bananas to move interstate from Hawaii under certain conditions intended to ensure the bananas' freedom from plant pests, including fruit flies. These actions will relieve restrictions on the movement of these fruits from Hawaii while continuing to provide protection against the spread of injurious plant pests from Hawaii to other parts of the United States.
