PART 96_RESTRICTION OF IMPORTATIONS OF FOREIGN ANIMAL CASINGS OFFERED
FOR ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 96.9  Casings admitted on disinfection; sealing; transfer and disinfection.

    Foreign animal casings offered for importation into the United 
States which are admitted upon disinfection shall be handled as follows:
    (a) The containers of such casings shall be sealed on the steamship 
pier or other place of first arrival. Four seals shall be affixed to 
both ends of each tierce, barrel, and similar container in the space 
where the ends of the container enter the staves, by means of red 
sealing wax imprinted with the No. 3 Veterinary Services brass brand 
from which ``insp'd & p's'd'' and the establishment number have been 
removed.
    (b) Uncertified animal casings sealed as above indicated shall be 
transferred from the steamship pier or other place of first arrival to 
the premises of the importer or other designated place, where they shall 
be disinfected by the importer under the supervision of an APHIS 
inspector before they are offered for sale. The object of this ruling is 
to place full responsibility for disinfection of casings on the original 
importer and to prevent the sale of casings subject to disinfection by 
the purchaser.
