The United States (US) has refused to accept multiple mango shipments from India, citing irregularities in radiation treatment documentation. According to The Economic Times, US authorities at airports in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Atlanta rejected 15 consignments after discrepancies were found in the required paperwork. The mango shipments, which had undergone radiation treatment in Mumbai on May 8 and 9, failed to meet US import standards due to inconsistencies in certification. As a result, exporters were asked either to destroy the cargo or re-export it to India. Most chose to dispose of the mangos, resulting in an estimated financial loss of around $500,000.
