[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 9277735, member: 23184"] Funnily enough, within the main Gatekeeper scheme called EFISC-GTP, which is a little bit like the UK TASCC merchant/haulier scheme but also has the rules about assuring grain with lab tests, there is a little loophole. In the loophole, there is no need for the grain to be lab tested by the shipper to get its "assured" status. This is as long as the destination mill has an entry check programme. In other words, the mill has a sampling spear and some testing facilities. It's totally up to the mill what tests it does. So moisture, bushel, foreign objects and bugs/weevils would be perfectly OK. They've to tailor checks based on history e.g. if they know it's a bad mycotoxin year then the may decide to test for mycotoxins, but that's about the extent of it. So basically the UK mill can purchase totally non-assured grain if it's imported. Only thing which is assured is the transport. [/QUOTE]
