The inspector must execute and deliver a certificate to the farm products dealer stating the day, the time and place of the inspection, and the condition of the produce and mail or deliver a copy of the certificate to the shipper of the perishable farm products.
(b) This section does not apply when the parties to the perishable farm products sales contract waive the inspection requirement.
