THIRD-PARTY CONFIRMATION OF RECEIPT OF WITHHELD FRUIT

In accordance with the Cranberry Marketing Order (§929.57 Outlets for withheld cranberries), handlers of cranberries must notify the Cranberry Marketing Committee of any cranberries that are withheld from handling by completing a separate form titled “Handler Application for Outlets for Excess Fruit,” and receive committee approval for such diversion. Where such fruit is received by a third party (such as approved charities, foreign customers of whole fruit in undeveloped markets, or institution conducting cranberry research), handlers must submit this form – and have the recipient third party complete the “Transfer Confirmation” section.
