Fruits and Vegetables Import Requirements (FAVIR) Online Database

Notice! As a result of a rule published by APHIS to streamline the approval process for fruit and vegetable imports, requirements for the importation of fruits and vegetables that were previously located in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) have been moved to the FAVIR Database effective October 15, 2018. As a result of this change, the Fruits and Vegetables Manual has been decommissioned and is no longer available. All content regarding entry requirements for fresh fruits and vegetables is located in the FAVIR Database. To learn more about the updated FAVIR and what has and hasn't changed, go to Streamlining Approvals for Fruit and Vegetable Imports Web page.

APHIS launched a new searchable online database, known as the Fruits and Vegetables Import Requirements (FAVIR) database. FAVIR allows customers to search, by commodity or country, for authorized fruits and vegetables and their requirements for importation into the United States. View the above link to access the online database and for additional information related to FAVIR.

Manual“Thank you to the team at Manula for a fabulous product and superior support! After researching many options for creating, editing, and publishing online manuals it was obvious when comparing features and cost…..Manula is the winner!
In a matter of minutes, anyone can create a manual, embed video, links, and images then publish it for access from any device.
The management of our manuals prior to purchasing Manula was time-consuming with multiple steps and tedious formatting to make even minor changes. With over 1000 pages to manage in a single manual and multiple versions to maintain, it was time to find a product that I could quickly learn and utilize.
