PART 740--NUT WAREHOUSES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 740.28  Nuts must be inspected and weighed.

    (a) Except in case of identity preserved nuts when grade or other 
class is omitted at request of depositor, all nuts received into the 
warehouse shall be inspected and weighed by a licensed inspector and/or 
weigher and no receipt may be issued under the Act and the regulations 
in this part until the nuts covered by such receipt have been so 
inspected and weighed.
    (b) When requested by the depositor of nuts the identity of which is 
to be preserved, a receipt omitting statement of grade or other class 
but not weight may be issued.
    (c) Except as provided in Sec. 740.41, all nuts delivered out of a 
warehouse must be weighed by a licensed weigher.
    (d) Warehousemen must keep stocks of nuts in storage by grades or 
other class in balance with the grades or other class of nuts 
represented by outstanding storage obligations for which receipts have 
been or are to be issued, except when the nuts have unavoidably improved 
or deteriorated through natural causes. In the case the grades or other 
class of stored nuts should get out of balance with grades or other 
class represented by outstanding storage obligations for which receipts 
have been or are to be issued, the warehouseman shall effect proper 
adjustments.
