PROVISIONS CONCERNING SIZING

Size is determined by the maximum diameter of the equatorial section of the fruit.
Minimum size
The following minimum sizes apply:

Fruit	Diameter (mm)
Lemons	45
Persian limes	42
Mexican and Indian limes	25
Satsumas, other mandarin varieties and hybrids	45
Clementines	35
Oranges	53
Grapefruit and hybrids	70
Pummelos and hybrids	100

Uniformity
- Citrus fruit may be sized by either of the following two options:
- Option (a): To ensure uniformity in size:
- The maximum difference in diameter between fruit in the same package shall be limited to:
  - 10 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is < 60 mm
  - 15 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is 60 mm but < 80 mm
  - 20 mm, if the diameter of the smallest fruit (as indicated on the package) is 80 mm but < 110 mm
  - there is no limitation of difference in diameter for fruit 110 mm.
- If by count, the fruit must meet the above-mentioned size uniformity. Option (b):
- When size codes are applied, the codes and ranges in the following tables must be respected:

Satsumas, clementines, and other mandarin varieties and hybrids
	1 -XXX	78 and above
	1 -XX	67 – 78
	1 or 1 -X	63 – 74
	2	58 – 69
	3	54 – 64
	4	50 – 60
	5	46 – 56
	6	43 – 52
	7	41 – 48
	8	39 – 46
	9	37 – 44
	10	35 – 42

Uniformity in size is achieved by the above-mentioned size scales, unless otherwise stated as follows:
For fruit in bulk bins and fruit in sales units of a maximum net weight of 5 kg, the maximum difference must not exceed the range obtained by grouping three consecutive sizes in the size scale.
