Exporter note

The U.S. Hop Industry Plant Protection Committee has actively sought harmonization of pesticide regulatory standards (maximum residue levels or MRLs) in key customer countries for the past three decades. As U.S. hops are exported worldwide, ensuring consistent regulatory standards between the U.S. and export customers avoids trade issues and interruption of shipments. Some countries do not allow application of certain plant protection products or have lower MRLs than in the U.S. If you export hops, you will need to comply with international MRLs.
