Decision To  Authorize the Importation of Fresh Citrus From China Into the Continental United States 
[Docket No. APHIS -2014-0005]  
APHIS is  advising the public of its decision to authorize the importation of five species of commercially 
produced fresh citrus fruit (pummelo, Nanfeng honey mandarin, ponkan, sweet orange, and Satsuma 
mandarin) from China into the continental United States. Based on the findings of the pest risk 
analysis, which APHIS made available to the public to review and comment through a pre vious notice, 
APHIS has concluded 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 these five species of citru s fruit from China.
