Special Use Designations (SUD's) / Lacey Act
- Jackeline Ashley Lara
APHIS has compiled the following chart of Special Use Designations (SUD’s) to address certain special cases. Use of these Designations may help simplify the reporting process for plant products that are difficult or impossible to identify to the species level or as noted under Other Special Cases. Use of the Special Use Designations is dependent on the exercise of due care.
Use of the Hybrid Species SUD requires entering the genus of the product.
Instructions governing the use of these Designations can be found at:
