'Based on the findings of a pest risk analysis ' we believe that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of fresh figs from Chile,' the agency said.
Each fig shipment must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate from Chile's national plant protection organization. APHIS said shipments should be treated against insects with a methyl bromide fumigation.
