2VAC5-230-50: CA registration by other states

Any person who owns or operates a controlled atmosphere room, or storage building, or who engages in the business of packing or repacking apples which have been held in controlled atmosphere storage where business is local or outside Virginia and who intends to, or does, market in the Commonwealth of Virginia apples so treated and represented as having been exposed to "controlled atmosphere" storage shall register with the commissioner in the same manner as any person within this Commonwealth. Provided, however, that where such person has registered with the proper authorities in the state of origin and has been assigned a comparable registration number or CA identification number under the authority of laws or regulations of such state, he may use that registration if that state has laws or regulations comparable to the CA provisions of § 3.2-4603 of the Code of Virginia and this chapter.
