Sample Pallet:
For consignments containing more than four pallets, the importer is responsible for ensuring a sample pallet accompanies the consignment destined to the USA and that it contains a representative sample of the consignment. Failure to include a sample pallet will result in the immediate reexportation of the consignment.
A sample pallet must accompany each shipment to facilitate the port of entry inspection:
- Prior to departure from the country of origin, a sample of the cartons representing the consignment must be selected. All orchards and lots must be represented in the sample pallet. The sample pallet must represent 2% of the consignment
- The pallet must be netted or wrapped
- The sample must be clearly marked “Sample Pallet” for port of entry inspection
Port of entry inspection results will determine if the consignment can be released to the irradiation facility under APHIS-PPQ supervision:
Reexportation of the consignment will result if:
- A designated sample pallet is not present
- The consignment is not properly labeled or configured
- A finding of nontarget pest(s) not mitigated by treatment

For more information on obtaining an Importer Compliance Agreement, refer to the Steps for Importing Fresh Fruits and Vegetables for Irradiation Treatment in the United States (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import-information/sa_quarantine_treatments/import-steps-ffv-irradiation-treatment).
