The fresh raspberry fruit must be packed in packinghouses that are registered with the NPPO of Morocco.

Detection of M. fructigena infection at a packinghouse may result in the suspension of the packinghouse until an investigation is conducted and APHIS and the NPPO of Morocco agree to appropriate remedial measures.
