Japan: FAS Tokyo Convinces Japan to Harmonize a Nectarine MRL with the Relevant US MRL

Through proactive communication with Japanese importers and FAS/Washington, FAS/Tokyo ensured that Japan adopted a maximum residue level (MRL) for fenpropathrin in nectarines in line with the U.S. fenpropathrin MRL. Following engagement with FAS/Tokyo, Japan raised its fenpropathrin MRL from 0.02 parts per million (ppm), further proposed to go down to 0.01 ppm, to 1 ppm. In 2020, the United States exported $1.1 million of fresh nectarines to Japan.
