We crossed the fruit check around 8:30am on a Wednesday and were stopped by the very gentle officer who asked if we had any fruits. Since we did have some, we said yes. We showed him oranges and bananas. We had to either eat the oranges there or throw them away. I took a picture of what's permitted and forbidden (attached here). Basically bananas are the only fruits allowed. There are also some restrictions to vegetables, but they didn't ask us about anything but fruits. No fumigation needed, as others pointed out.

Officer asked where we were coming from. Then he asked if we had any fruits or vegetables. We said no although we did. He didn't check the van and just let us go. No fumigation at all either.

Working on a Sunday. Asked if we had fruits/veggies, we showed them our "fruits bag" and they told us that we couldn't keep our lemon and let us eat our mandarine. No pb for pumpkin and carrots. Very polite. They didn't search our van.

We travelled southbound. Bananas si, mandarinas no. So we ate our two mandarinas. 😋 Didn’t take carrot, cucumber and half of pepper.

Control took our fresh vegetables. Unclear is all vegetable or just peppers and zucchini. There’s a list on the side of the road but we passed without a photo.

Even at 8 pm we were asked. Told him we had an onion and a zucchini. He checked the trunk but not very deep or every corner. We were allowed to pass with our vegetables.
