Sec. 381.105  Export certification; marking of containers.

    (a) Upon request or application by any person intending to export 
any poultry product, any inspector is authorized to issue an official 
export certificate as prescribed in Sec. 381.107 with respect to the 
shipment to any foreign country of any inspected and passed poultry 
product, after adequate inspection of the product has been made by the 
inspector to determine its identity as inspected and passed and eligible 
for export: Provided, that the product is offered for inspection at an 
official establishment. Each shipping container covered by the export 
certificate, except ship stores, small quantities exclusively for the 
personal use of the consignee and not for sale or distribution, and 
shipments by and for the U.S. Armed Forces, shall be marked with an 
official export stamp as shown in Sec. 381.104 bearing the number of 
the export certificate. Official export certificates will be issued only 
upon condition that the products covered thereby shall be subject to 
reinspection at any place and at any time prior to exportation to 
determine the identity of the products and their eligibility for 
certification, and such certificates shall become invalid if such 
reinspection is refused or discloses that the products are not eligible 
for certification. If reinspection discloses that any poultry products 
covered by an export certificate are not eligible for such 
certification, a superseding certificate setting forth such findings 
shall be issued and copies shall be furnished to interested persons.
    (b) The original and a duplicate of each official export certificate 
shall be delivered to the person who requested such certificate or his 
agent. Such person may duplicate such numbers of exact copies of the 
original as he requires in connection with the exportation of the 
poultry products. Additional official file copies of the export 
certificates shall be prepared and distributed by the inspector in 
accordance with the instructions of the Administrator.
    (c) Only one certificate shall be issued for each consignment, 
except in case of error in the certificate or loss of the certificate 
originally issued. A request for a new certificate, except in the case 
of a lost certificate, shall be accompanied by the original and all 
copies of the first certificate. The new certificate shall carry the 
following statement: ``This certificate supersedes certificate No. ----
-- Dated ----------. The outside container of the poultry product 
covered by this certificate is

stamped with United States Department of Agriculture Certificate No. --
