TO: All Handlers of Raisins Produced from Grapes Grown in California

SUBJECT: Handler Weight Certificates

Section 989.158(a)(1)(iii) of Marketing Order No. 989, regulating the handling of raisins produced from grapes grown in Califonia (Order), requires each handler to substantiate the weight of each lot of raisins tendered for receiving, storage, reconditioning, acquisition, or disposition on an official “State Certificate of Weights and Measures” issued by a public weighmaster on a form approved by the Raisin Administrative Committee (RAC). Section 989.158(a)(3) of the Order also requires handlers to issue a “door receipt” or weight certificate on a serially prenumbered form. These requirements are usually met by using the same form.

For each lot of raisins tendered for receiving, storage, reconditioning, acquisition, or disposition, please provide the following information to the RAC:

1. The name and address of the tenderer;

2. The weight of the lot;

3. The number and type of containers in the lot; and

4. Any other information necessary to identify the lot.

If you have any questions, please contact your RAC field representative.
