Exportation of Fruit Act
By publishing a notice in the Gazette, the Governor-General may nominate suitable individuals to serve as fruit inspectors under this Act, one of whom shall be designated as the Chief Fruit Inspector. The Governor-General may designate any location or locations as packing stations for the purposes of this Act by issuing a license in his name. All fruit intended for export must be packed at a packing station, under the supervision of a fruit inspector, in standard containers marked on the outside with the shipper's name or identification mark, the variety of the fruit, the quantity or weight of the fruit, and the quality of the fruit contained therein. No fruit shall be wrapped, packed, or shipped until such fruit and the containers in which the same is shipped shall have been inspected and approved by a fruit inspector. Any person intending to pack any fruit for export shall give reasonable notice to the Chief Fruit Inspector of such intention and of the place and time at which he proposes to pack such fruit. A label in the prescribed form indicating that the fruit contained therein has passed inspection shall be attached to each package of fruit if the fruit inspector is satisfied that such fruit is in all respects fit for export and that all requirements of this Act and any regulations made thereunder have been complied with. A certificate of fitness for export in the form prescribed by the Schedule shall be issued to the owner or shipper of the fruit.
