				  product will be inspected and/or re-graded before final shipment from a

				  and/or stored by third parties and the chain of custody of the processed citrus
				  product is maintained, subsequent manifests may indicate the prior inspection
				  and/or grade for transportation purposes. Provided, however, that the manifests
				  clearly state that grade is certified as processor grade. This provision shall
				  not affect the requirements of the USDA Inspection and Grading Service or the
