Homegrown citrus currently can be shipped from Florida to other states if it has been packed by a commercial packing house. During the commercial packing process, fruit is removed of plant debris, washed, disinfected, graded and packed into shipping containers marked with a USDA-APHIS-PPQ-CHRP Certificate.
Unfortunately you may not be able to find a commercial packing house that offers this type of packing service that is close enough to your home to make this practical. The USDA has developed a short list of packing houses (see the link below) and from this list the packing house nearest to Pinellas County appears to be one in Zephyrhills.
