South Carolina Code of Regulations
Chapter 27 - CLEMSON UNIVERSITY STATE LIVESTOCK-POULTRY HEALTH COMMISSION
Article 18 - BOLL WEEVIL QUARANTINE
Section 27-2000 - Conditions Governing the Movement of Regulated Articles

Universal Citation: SC Code Regs 27-2000

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024

A. Certificate or Permit Required

A certificate or permit must accompany the movement of regulated articles from any infested area into or through any regulated area. Regulated articles originating outside an infested area may be moved without a certificate or permit provided the point of origin is demonstrated to be outside any commercial cotton producing area, and further provided that any regulated articles moving through the regulated area or any infested area are protected from infestation during transit.

B. Attachment of Certificates or Permits

Required certificates and/or permits shall be securely attached to the outside of the container in which the articles are moved. Alternatively the certificate or permit may be attached to the shipping document, provided the regulated articles are adequately described.

C. Issuance of Certificates

Certificates may be issued by an inspector if the regulated articles:

(1) have originated in a non-infested premise in a regulated area and have not been thereafter exposed to infestation; or;

(2) have been treated to destroy infestation in accordance with approved procedures; or

(3) have been, grown, manufactured, stored or handled in such manner that the inspector is reasonable certain that no infestation would be transmitted thereby; or

(4) have been examined by the inspector and found to be free of infestation.

D. Issuance of Permits.

Permits may be issued by an inspector to allow the movement of non-certified regulated articles to locations outside the regulated areas for particular handling, utilization, processing, or for treatment in accordance with approved procedures, provided the inspector is reasonably certain that such movement would not result in the spread of the boll weevil.

E. Cancellation of Certificates and Permits.

Any issued or authorized certificate or permit may be withdrawn by the inspector if he determines that: the holder thereof has not complied with any condition for the use of such documents or with any conditions contained in a compliance agreement; there were material omissions or misrepresentations in the application for a permit; or that a significant change in circumstances has occurred.
