INSTRUCTIONS

Each handler is required to submit each quarter to the Prune Marketing Committee (Committee) a signed report of form PMC

12.1 showing his shipments of California prunes from the start of the current crop year through the end of the quarter for which 

the report is required. Shipments should be derived from shipping documents, such as shipping orders, manifests and bills of 

lading. In computing your SHIPMENTS for each period, be sure to exclude invoices for sale from a consignment warehouse or 

distribution center, and to include, in lieu thereof, prunes shipped to consignment locations or distribution centers as determined 

from shipping documents. 

1. DOMESTIC, INCLUDING CANADA & GOVERNMENT -USES --Report the pounds of prunes shipped by you or for your 

account to the domestic trade for each use listed on this form. Be sure to include prunes which have been converted into a 

manufactured product on your own premises (such as prune juice and pitted prunes). DO NOT INCLUDE in this category: (a) 

prunes not subject to the Order (refer to 5e below and form PMC 11.1); (b) Inter-Handler Transfers or officially inspected packed 

prunes moving between handlers (refer to 5 below). The weight of the whole prunes shipped for each use should be reported. 

For example: "pitting" should be the weight of the prunes shipped to a trade customer for pitting, plus prunes entered into your 

own pitting equipment. 

2. PRUNE EXPORTS 

1) Report the cumulative tonnage of prunes and pitted prunes shipped to each foreign region excluding Canada on 

Attachment PMC 12.1A.

2) Enter name of region if not listed.

only. 

b. Processed condition prunes shipped to another handler either without outgoing inspection or with a memo inspection

c. Deduct 5b from 5a and enter the difference on line 5c as shipments during the period. 

d. Deduct your entry on line 5e from 5c to determine the entry for line 5d, or, as an alternative method, total the weight of 

Non-Order prunes shown by your records as having been commingled with California prunes during the period 

reported upon and enter the sum on line 5d. 

e. Determine from your records the total weight of Non-Order prunes shipped as such during the period of the report and
