Chapter 27 - CLEMSON UNIVERSITY STATE LIVESTOCK-POULTRY HEALTH COMMISSION
Article 5A - TROPICAL SODA APPLE QUARANTINE
Section 27-58.4 - Issuance of Movement Documents

A. Certificates - An inspector from the Department or USDA-APHIS, or their representatives, will issue certificates for movement of regulated articles when it has been deemed that ALB is not apparently present and risk of movement of ALB from a quarantined area to a non-quarantined area has been mitigated. In all cases, certificates and permits shall be furnished by the carrier to the consignee at the destination of the shipment.

B. Compliance Agreements - The Department or USDA-APHIS may enter into compliance agreements with persons growing, handling, or moving regulated articles once an inspector has reviewed all provisions of the compliance agreement and each agrees to comply with the provisions of this subpart and any conditions imposed under this subpart. As a condition of issuance of certificates for the movement of regulated articles, any person engaged in purchasing, assembling, exchanging, handling, or moving such articles may be required to sign a compliance agreement stipulating that he will maintain such safeguards against the establishment and spread of infection and comply with such conditions as to the maintenance of identity, handling, and subsequent movement of such articles.

C. Attachment - Movement documents must be attached to or accompany shipments of all regulated articles or containers carrying regulated articles and such articles must be clearly marked with the name and address of the consignor and consignee.

D. Cancellation - Certificates and/or Compliance Agreements may be canceled orally or in writing by an inspector or representative of the Department or USDA-APHIS whenever the inspector determines that the holder of the certificate or compliance agreement has not complied with this subpart or any conditions imposed under this subpart.
