Sec. 95.25  Transportation of restricted import products; placarding 
cars and marking billing; unloading enroute.

    (a) Transportation companies or other operators of cars, trucks or 
other vehicles carrying import products or materials moving under 
restriction, other than those in tight cases or casks, shall affix to 
and maintain on both sides of all such vehicles durable placards not 
less than 5\1/2\ by 6 inches in size, on which shall be printed with 
permanent black ink and in boldface letters not less than 1\1/2\ inches 
in height the words ``Restricted import product.'' These placards shall 
also bear the words ``Clean and disinfect this car or truck.'' Each of 
the waybills, conductors' manifests, memoranda, and bills of lading 
pertaining to such shipments shall have the words ``Restricted import 
product, clean and disinfect car or truck,'' plainly written or stamped 
upon its face. If for any reason the placards required by this section 
have not been affixed to each car, or the billing has not been marked by 
the initial or the connecting carrier, or the placards have been 
removed, destroyed, or rendered illegible, the placards shall be 
immediately affixed or replaced and the billing marked by the initial or 
connecting carrier, the intention being that the billing accompanying 
the shipment shall be marked and each car, truck or other vehicle 
placarded as specified in this section from the time such shipment 
leaves the port of entry until it is unloaded at final destination and 
the cars, trucks or other vehicles are cleaned and disinfected as 
required by Sec. 95.26.
    (b) If it is necessary to unload enroute any of the materials or 
products transported in a placarded car, truck or other vehicle as 
provided in this section, the car, truck or other vehicle from which the 
transfer is made and any part of the premises in or upon which the 
product or material may have been placed in the course of unloading or 
reloading shall be cleaned and disinfected by the carrier, in accordance 
with the provisions of Sec. 95.26, and the said carrier shall 
immediately report the matter, by telegraph, to the Deputy 
Administrator, Veterinary Services, Washington, DC 20251. Such report 
shall include the following information: Nature of emergency; place 
where product or material was unloaded; original points of shipment and 
destination; number and materials of the original car or truck; and 
number and initials of the car, truck or other vehicle into which the 
product or material is reloaded in case the original car or truck is not 
used.
