Which subparts describe the COA requirement for large shipments?

• A. 158 subpart a, b and c
• B. 158 subpart b, d and e
• C. 158 subpart b, c and d (500k lbs of fishery products)
• D. 158 subpart a, c and d

Answer: (C)

For large shipments, the COA requirement is governed by the parts of the regulation that specifically address big consignments. When a shipment reaches about 500,000 pounds of fishery products, the COA must be provided under the provisions that cover large-volume shipments, which are the subparts designated for those cases. Those subparts lay out exactly what the COA must include, who should issue it, and how it must accompany or be presented with the shipment. The other subparts deal with smaller shipments or different situations and do not establish the COA requirements for such a large shipment. So the reference that matches the scenario described is the set of subparts that addresses large shipments, including the 500,000-pound threshold.
