Citrus Sample Clauses

Citrus. China and the United States have agreed to protocols and work plans (Addendum A), in accordance with the standards and principles of internationally accepted pest risk assessment (PRA), and will permit the import of U.S. citrus to China. The United States shall ensure that U.S. citrus exported to China shall not cause harm to China’s agricultural production and agrees to undertake additional science-based trapping to satisfy China’s concerns. The U.S. will continue to expedite import approval of Chinese horticultural products such as pears, longans, and penjing upon receipt of required data and documentation. In order to facilitate such a process, both sides will hold regular consultations and provide requested information as quickly as possible. China and the United States have agreed that both sides should ensure the health and safety of U.S. exports of meat to China. In recognition of the situation that the U.S. possesses a sound system of epidemiological disease control and a program for chemical residue control, China will accept meat from all USDA Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) approved plants. China maintains the right to audit the U.S. inspection system through random inspection of establishments and random inspection of U.S. product at the Chinese point of entry. Should China determine, based on scientific inspection, that a particular shipment is not wholesome, then China can refuse to accept shipments from the originating plant until the underlying problem is resolved. China shall promptly notify FSIS of such action. China accepts the USDA/FSIS “Meat and Poultry Export Certificate of Wholesomeness” (Addendum B) as proof that FSIS certified meat and poultry complies with the U.S. inspection standards, and therefore any meat accompanied by the certificate is eligible for import into China.
