Trumos and maasros, for sure.  And *all* fruit is subject to orlah,
regardless of where it's from.   The question is whether the rule that
sfek orlah is assur in EY and muttar in chu"l depends on where the
fruit was grown, or where the person making the determination is
standing.  I don't see any implication of an answer in the psak you
quote.
