Sweet Potato Import Risk Management Document from Korea

APHIS has released a new risk management document concerning the importation of sweet potatoes from Korea. This guidance outlines the specific phytosanitary measures and risk mitigation strategies that must be employed to prevent the introduction of pests and diseases into the United States. The document details the requirements for producers, exporters, and importers to ensure compliance with U.S. import regulations.

Regulated entities, primarily importers and exporters involved in the sweet potato trade between Korea and the U.S., should review this document to understand the updated import protocols. Compliance with these risk management measures is essential to facilitate trade while safeguarding U.S. agricultural health. Failure to adhere to these requirements could result in shipment delays, rejections, or other enforcement actions by APHIS.
