SHIPPERS APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL PURPOSE CERTIFICATE

In consideration of your granting this permission, I agree to the following stipulations:

1. That all companies/farms are to complete the shipper’s application for special purpose certificates even if a special purpose shipment is not made. If an unexpected shipment is made during the year to a receiver that is not on the original application, I will inform the State of Washington Potato Committee (Committee) in writing to add that receiver to my application. That as each shipment is made under this Special Purpose Certificate, I will prepare a Shipment Report on forms furnished by the Committee and/or recognize that those forms may be submitted by a handler/processor on my behalf. If a Committee form is to be used then one copy will be mailed to the Committee and two copies will be forwarded to the receiver with instructions that the receiver sign one copy and mail it to the Committee and retain the second copy for his files. Failure of the receiver to promptly sign and return the Shipment Report will result in cancellation of permission to ship potatoes under Special Purpose Certificate to this receiver.

2. I certify to the Committee and the Secretary of Agriculture that any shipments made pursuant to this Special Purpose Certificate will be made in accordance with the current Marketing Order regulations. I have read these regulations and I made this application with full knowledge thereof.
