Sec. 800.17  Special inspection and weighing requirements for sacked export grain.

    (a) General. Subject to the provisions of Sec. 800.18, sacked export 
grain shall be (1) officially inspected on the basis of official samples 
obtained with an approved sampling device and operated in accordance 
with instructions, (2) Class X weighed or checkweighed, and (3) 
officially checkloaded by official personnel at the time the grain is 
loaded aboard the export carrier, in accordance with the provisions of 
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
    (b) Services at time of loading. When official sampling, official 
inspection, Class X weighing or checkweighing, and checkloading of 
sacked export grain loaded aboard an export carrier is performed at one 
location and time, official export inspection and weight certificate(s) 
which identify the export carrier shall be issued.
    (c) Services prior to loading. When official sampling, official 
inspection, and Class X weighing or checkweighing of sacked export grain 
is performed prior to the date of loading aboard an export carrier, 
official ``OUT'' certificates shall be issued. An examination by 
official personnel for condition and checkloading of the grain shall be 
made as the grain is loaded aboard the export carrier. If the 
examination for condition and the checkloading shows that the identity 
or quantity of the grain has not changed or the condition of the grain 
has not changed beyond expected variations prescribed in the 
instruction, official export inspection and weight certificates shall be 
issued on the basis of the official ``OUT'' certificates and the 
checkloading. If the identity, quantity, or the condition has changed, 
official export inspection and weight certificates shall be issued on 
the basis of the most representative samples, including weight samples, 
obtained at the time the grain is loaded aboard the export carrier.
