The notice from the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) states that a pest-risk analysis showed that the irradiation and phytosanitary measures "will be sufficient to mitigate the risks".
Other requirements for the rambutan from Vietnam include rambutan may be imported only for commercial consignments; the fruit must be irradiated in accordance with US law; and if irradiation takes place outside of the US, each consignment must be pre-cleared by APHIS inspectors in the country of origin.
