calling for No. 2, he can ask
the inspector to certify the
lot as “U.S. No. 2 or better
Western White Wheat,” and
meet the contract grade
requirement. Under
previous rules, the exporter
would have had to accept a
grade certificate for U.S. No.
1 Western White Wheat and
risk a claim from the foreign
buyer that the wheat sold did
not meet the contract grade.
Grain exporters and other
interested parties have
advised officials of USDA’s
Federal Grain Inspection
Service (FGIS) - and FGIS
concurs - that delivery of a
higher grade of grain than
that specified in the sales
contract should not be ob
jectionable to foreign buyers
and should not be construed
as a failure to meet contract
requirements.
Official inspection and
grading of grain is man
datory for all grain sold by
grade for export and
voluntary for domestic trade
in grain.
