Examples:
In the United States Szechuan
peppercorns were only recently re-approved for import after being banned
because of fear a form of citrus canker not previous found in the United
States might devastate crops of citrus fruits such as oranges and grape
fruits. They now have to be heat treated before import to kill any citrus
canker virus.
Pink peppercorns can only be imported into Australia after they have been
ground or the importer can otherwise prove the seeds have been made
unviable. This is to prevent the accidental introduction of an invasive
plant species.
