Dear Valued Customer,

PERU
Citrus – Mandarins, Tangelos, Clementine, Tangerines, Grapefruit and Sour Limes
Grapes
Blueberries
BRAZIL
Grapes
Containers that do not pass cold treatment will be prohibited from entering the port and will not be offloaded from vessels. Failed containers will be allowed transit via sea to a Northeastern port for retreatment, or they will be re-exported to the country of origin.
This does not affect existing preclearance programs for grapes and blueberries from Peru. All PPQ pre-cleared commodities with accompanying PPQ Form 203 will still be accepted.
