Section 581. Standards of export; establishment; shipping without certificate forbidden; hearings
It shall be unlawful for any person to ship or offer for shipment
or for any carrier, or any steamship company, or any person to
transport or receive for transportation to any foreign destination,
except as provided in this chapter, any apples in packages which
are not accompanied by a certificate issued under authority of the
Secretary of Agriculture showing that such apples are of a Federal

The Secretary shall provide opportunity, by public hearing or
otherwise, for interested persons to examine and make
recommendation with respect to any standard of export proposed to

Secretary for the purposes of this chapter.
