Universal Citation: 3 CA Code of Regs 1370.4

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

(a) Produce which fails to comply and which has originated in California may go to a location in California (not out of state) under proper written authorization of the enforcement officer, provided it goes to a specified person or firm at that location, and that legal disposition at destination is performed under the direction of an enforcement officer at destination.

(b) Produce which fails to comply, and which originated outside California, may go to an out-of-state location;

(1) if the lot or load returns to an out-of-state destination, or

(2) proceeds through California, without unloading, to an out-of-state destination; in these two instances reconditioning or remarking is not necessary. However, if such load or lot of produce is to proceed to a California destination, it may do so only under proper written authorization of the California enforcement officer, and provided the destination is a specified person or firm at a California location, and that legal disposition at destination is performed under the direction of an enforcement officer at said destination.

In the case of (2) above of this section, such load or lot may be transported through California only under proper written authorization of the California enforcement officer, and provided an enforcement officer at the border station at the exit location is notified.

(c) A rejected lot or load may be reconditioned or remarked, whichever is necessary to provide compliance, at the station, provided this is accomplished within a reasonable time specified by the enforcement officer, and when reconditioned, the lot is again submitted for inspection.
