Pakistani mangoes aren't banned in the U.S.; they have to be processed specially. All the technical and regulatory hurdles were worked out a few years ago and apparently a few were shipped here before Pakistani exporters decided it wasn't worthwhile to do so.Now that Pakistani Mangoes are banned in America -
A word of advice: don't try to bring your own fruit into the U.S. In pre-9/11 days I saw people who did so surrounded by dogs and customs officers, forbidden to leave the area - or even move! - until the unhappy traveler had either consumed their fruit or thrown it away in the special trash bin nearby. After that it was up to Customs whether to apply criminal charges or not.
