We report on regulatory challenges associated with the use of postharvest fumigants in the global marketplace. While postharvest fumigation is principally relied upon to guarantee food security, particularly of quarantine pests, the regulatory infrastructure for the adoption of new postharvest fumigants, as well as new uses, has not kept pace with conventional preharvest pesticides.  We detail technical aspects that render postharvest fumigants unique from a regulatory perspective, as well as key challenges for horticultural and stored product sectors.<br/>
