During its risk analysis, the agency found six plant pests that have potential of being introduced into the United States via strawberries from Jordan. However, APHIS said the use of phytosanitary controls and Jordan's integrated pest management practices in the production of commercial strawberries should ensure these imports are 'unlikely to contain the identified quarantine pests.'
Strawberry shipments from Jordan are also subject to inspection at U.S. ports of entry.
