Japan: Japan Temporarily Increases Phytosanitary Inspections of Select U.S. Products

Travel restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic have precluded required on-site inspections of seven U.S. plant exports by Japanese authorities. As a temporary measure, Japan has increased onarrival inspections of fresh cherries, mangoes, papayas, nectarines, prunes, fresh potatoes and hay. The measure will stay in place until Japanese inspectors are able to resume inspections in the United States.
