Dear Clients and Friends,

Attached please find reminders for fresh produce shipments requiring state inspection by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to meet Agriculture Marketing Services (AMS) quality standards.

Specifically, a shipment with affected commodities, i.e. Avocado, dry Onions, Table Grapes and Tomatoes (round/bola tomato), are asked to be parked at the dock prior to 1800 hours (6:00 p.m.)   Failure to do so may (will) result in NOT obtaining the clearance and subject to inspection the following day (or later).

Thank you,

Agriculture State Inspection and Clearance CDFA AMS PIN 2008-014
