It is, therefore, recommended that either a State or Federal certificate be procured and transmitted with each shipment of these products.

Such a permit should be applied for in advance by the prospective importer, who will receive a copy for transmittal to the shipper. However, the importer is allowed to enter such a shipment, even though he does not apply for a permit until the shipment arrives, whenever that action is practicable.
