Sec. 1240.60  Molluscan shellfish.


    (a) A person shall not offer for transportation, or transport, in 
interstate traffic any molluscan shellfish handled or stored in such an 
insanitary manner, or grown in an area so contaminated, as to render 
such molluscan shellfish likely to become agents in, and their 
transportation likely to contribute to the spread of communicable 
disease from one State or possession to another.
    (b) All shellstock shall bear a tag that discloses the date and

type and quantity of shellfish, and by whom they were harvested (i.e., 
the identification number assigned to the harvester by the shellfish 
control authority, where applicable or, if such identification numbers 
are not assigned, the name of the harvester or the name or registration 
number of the harvester's vessel). In place of the tag, bulk shellstock 
shipments may be accompanied by a bill of lading or similar shipping 
document that contains the same information.
    (c) All containers of shucked molluscan shellfish shall bear a label 
that identifies the name, address, and certification number of the 
packer or repacker of the molluscan shellfish.
    (d) Any molluscan shellfish without such a tag, shipping document, 
or label, or with a tag, shipping document, or label that does not bear 
all the information required by paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, 
shall be subject to seizure or refusal of entry, and destruction.
