Vermont § 646 - Exemptions

§ 646. Exemptions

• (a) The provisions of sections 644, 645, and 647 of this title shall not apply: (1) To seed or grain not intended for sowing purposes. (2) To seed in storage in, or being transported or consigned to, a cleaning or processing
  establishment for cleaning or processing, provided that the invoice or labeling accompanying
  any shipment of such seed bears the statement “seeds for processing.” Any labeling
  or other representation that may be made with respect to the uncleaned or unprocessed
  seed shall be subject to section 644 of this title. (3) To any carrier of seed transported or delivered for transportation in the ordinary
  course of its business as a carrier, provided that such carrier is not engaged in
  producing, processing, or marketing seeds subject to the provisions of this subchapter. (b) No person shall be subject to the penalties of this subchapter for having sold or
  offered for sale seeds subject to provisions of this subchapter that were incorrectly
  labeled or represented as to kind, species, and subspecies; variety; type; or origin,
  unless the person has failed to obtain an invoice, genuine grower’s declaration, or
  other labeling information or to take such other reasonable precautions to ensure
  that the identity of the seed is set forth. “Genuine grower’s declaration” means
  a statement signed by the grower that gives for each lot of seed the lot number, kind,
  variety (if known), origin, weight, year of production, date of shipment, and to whom
  the shipment was made. (Added 1989, No. 85, § 2.)
