Vietnamese star apples can only enter the US if they come from farms with official Plant Unit Codes (PUC) and must undergo mandatory irradiation treatment to kill fruit flies before shipping.<\/li>\n
- China<\/strong>: China requires strict registration of both the growing areas and packing houses. Shipments must fully comply with food safety and traceability standards.<\/li>\n
