Dipping with dimethoate must be the last treatment before packing, except that a non-recovery gloss coating ("wax") may be applied to citrus not less than 60 seconds after treatment. At the time of treatment, a papaya must be hard and must have not more than 25% of its ripe colouration when assessed over its entire surface area. Cararnbola, longan, lychee, passionfruit, star apple and rambutan may be dipped for 10 seconds, after which the fruit must remain wet for a period of not less than 60 seconds.

(b) Dime thoa te dipping (peach, nectarine and pi um only) The fruit is dipped in a mixture containing 200 mg/L dimethoate for a period of not less than 60 seconds.
