It's not the mangosteen itself that is the problem in the USA, but the insects, fungi, mites and other pests about which the U.S. Dept of Agriculture is concerned. The NY Times had a story a few months ago on the mangosteen, and a devoted grower in Puerto Rico who will soon be selling his crop in the U.S. It also said that Thailand would be irradiating mangosteen and exporting them to the USA.
When I have traveled to Asia, I always am sure to enjoy mangosteens.
I agree with Willy's comment: there is no "right" to eat endangered species.
