APHIS has drafted a pest risk assessment for the importation of fresh Tahiti Limes fruit (Citrus latifolia) for consumption from Brazil into the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The assessment describes potential pests associated with the commodity.

APHIS shares draft pest risk assessments to determine whether stakeholders have information that might lead us to revise the draft assessment before we identify pest mitigations and proceed with the commodity import approval process.

The draft pest risk assessment for fresh Tahiti Limes fruit will be available for review and comment until December 3, 2022. To view the assessment or submit comments, go to https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-health/risk-assessment-consultation.
