It's illegal to sell imported or interstate-shipped lime in barrels unless the barrel is clearly marked with its net weight, the maker's name and location, and, if imported, the country it came from.

This section makes it unlawful to sell or offer to sell lime that was imported from a foreign country in barrels, or to sell or offer to sell lime in barrels shipped between states, territories, or the District of Columbia, unless the barrel is marked before it is imported or shipped. The small barrel must show "180 lbs. net," and the large barrel must show "280 lbs. net," stenciled or otherwise clearly marked on one or both heads. Either barrel must also show the lime manufacturer's name and where it was made, and, if the lime was imported, the name of the country it came from.
