§ 29503 Honey Export Weight Exemption

• •Honey sent to other countries doesn’t have to follow the usual weight rules for containers.
• •If an officer asks, you must show proof (like papers) that the honey is really going to another country.
• •This rule only applies if the honey is going straight to a foreign country, not if it’s sold here first.

A beekeeper in California sells honey to a store in Canada.

The beekeeper doesn’t have to follow the normal weight rules for the honey jars because it’s going to another country. But if an officer asks, the beekeeper must show proof, like shipping papers, to prove the honey is really going to Canada.
