Safflower seed: Export shipments
Export shipments can be commercially clean or not commercially clean.
Commercially clean (CCLN)
Export shipments defined as commercially clean may contain up to 2.5% by weight of dockage.
Dockage is reported to the nearest 0.1%.
Not commercially clean (NCC)
Export shipments that do not meet the standards for commercial cleanliness are referred to as not commercially clean. Such shipments are permitted only with the permission of the Canadian Grain Commission.
For samples representing not commercially clean shipments approved by the Canadian Grain Commission for shipment from terminal elevators, dockage is reported to the nearest 0.1%.
A deduction of up to 0.2% is applied to take into account the buildup of attritional material for direct exports only.
Grading
Safflower seed on export is graded in accordance with primary and export grade determination table.
