Description

DALLAS -- U.S. Customs and Border Protection agriculture specialists at the Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport found 13 live larvae in a package of jujubes. A traveler, arriving from Sudan, declared agriculture items after landing at DFW. CBP agriculture specialists inspected the traveler’s luggage including over 2 pounds of jujubes (Ziziphus sp.) Jujubes are a small, date-like fruit commonly found in Asia and the Middle East. Jujube fruit is prohibited from entry into the United States from most countries due to the potential pest risk, as they are host material for a variety of pests. Further examination of the jujubes resulted in the interception of 13 live larvae, possibly Khapra beetle. The larvae were forwarded to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for identification and confirmed as Khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts (Dermestidae).
