USDA APHIS Releases New PExD Version

On December 6, USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) released the Phytosanitary Export Database (PExD) version 3.5. The new release consists of:

• Removing the “Other” category for Harmful Organisms throughout PCIT and PExD
• Removing erroneous text from the Commodity Summary screen
• Simplifying the display of ineligible products, and
• Doing a hard delete when a Harmful Organism is unchecked on a country’s Update Harmful Organisms screen

PExD contains phytosanitary import requirements of U.S.-origin commodities to foreign countries. To access the database, click here.
