Increase in APHIS permit fees

[Fern Davies]

(This is not a new increase; they are phasing in the approved increases over three years. They just want to remind everyone that the second increase goes into effect at the close of business on 9/28)

 

 

NOTICE: APHIS Import Export User Fees Increase
