The peppers must be grown in the Republic of Korea in insect-proof greenhouses approved by and registered with the National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO) of the Republic of Korea.
The greenhouses must be equipped with double self-closing doors. In order to prevent the entry of pests into the greenhouse, any vents or openings in the greenhouses (other than the double self-closing doors) must be covered with either:
• 0.6 mm or smaller screening; or
• 1.6 mm screening in addition to blue or yellow sticky traps as an additional measure for pest monitoring
The greenhouses must be inspected monthly throughout the growing season by the NPPO of the Republic of Korea to ensure phytosanitary procedures are employed to exclude plant pests and diseases, and to ensure the screens are intact.
The peppers must be packed within 24 hours of harvest in a pest-exclusionary packinghouse. During the time the packinghouse is in use for exporting peppers to the continental United States, the packinghouse can accept peppers only from registered approved production sites. The peppers must be safeguarded by an insect-proof mesh screen or plastic tarpaulin while in transit from the production site to the packinghouse and while awaiting packing. The peppers must be packed in insect-proof cartons or containers, or covered with insect-proof mesh or plastic tarpaulin, for transit to the continental United States. These safeguards must remain intact until the arrival of the peppers in the United States or the consignment will not be allowed to enter the United States. |
