CBP will enforce a federal quarantine order recently issued by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection service (see 1503180017) meant to stop imports containing the Mediterranean fruit fly from the Dominican Republic, said CBP (here). The APHIS Administrator has determined that the fly, known as a Medfly, poses a serious threat to U.S. agriculture and "that this serious plant pest threat must be immediately addressed." Medfly is not known to occur in the U.S. except in Hawaii, and it's estimated that the species would be able to establish populations in southern regions of the U.S., said CBP. "Effective immediately, APHIS is suspending all importations of fruit and vegetable commodities known to be Medfly hosts from the Dominican Republic," said CBP.
CBP posted some statistics on Automated Commercial Environment use during February (here). There's 23,821 ACE trade accounts and 61,815 approved ACE portal users, said CBP.
