percentages, for which purpose the entry for clearance through the customs 
and the treatment of the corresponding seed will be permitted under the custody 
of the customs officials and for the account of the importer.

burned as produced without giving rise to any indemnity ; since the interested 
person or his duly authorized representative has resorted to this privilege, he 
will have abandoned his rights in the application which had to be made for

authorize importation, a delivery order will be issued to the authorized 
depository for the release of the shipment, the cleaned shipment thus being 
definitely admitted, and a record will be left in the corresponding file of the 
operations and analyses effected, etc. 
In the event that the attempts to clean do not yield the results sought, the 
interested person will be notified of the results of the analysis and a relading or- 
der will be issued through the customs authorities, unless destruction is author- 
ized in writing by the Oficina Sanitaria de Importacion de Plantas y Semillas, 
in which case, besides the record in the file, the office mentioned will issue to the 
authorized depository a certificate of release for destruction. 
If, after the lapse of 15 days from the date of notification of the interested 
person, none of the procedures above indicated has been followed, it will be 
deemed that he has abandoned his rights and the office mentioned will proceed to 
destroy the seed by burning and will make affidavit accordingly.
