Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C.

United States of untreated oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit from
Mexico that transit the United States en route to foreign countries.
Need and Use of the Information: The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) is taking action to provide additional

Mexico transiting the United States for export to another country must
be shipped in sealed, refrigerated container and insect-proof
packaging. A transportation and exportation permit must be issued by an

grapefruit from Mexico. Without the information, APHIS would not be
able to allow the movement of untreated citrus to transit the United
States to foreign countries.
