in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

It's illegal to pack, sell, or ship lime across state or D.C. lines in barrels that aren't marked as the law requires, or to sell it as a full or partial barrel while shorting the required weight. Breaking this rule is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $100.

It is unlawful to pack, sell, or offer for sale for shipment — from any state, territory, or the District of Columbia to any other state, territory, or the District of Columbia — barrels or other containers of lime that aren't marked the way sections 238 and 239 of this title require. It's also unlawful to sell, charge for, or claim to deliver lime across those same lines as a large or small barrel (or a fraction of a small barrel) while actually giving less weight than sections 237 through 242 require. Anyone who violates these rules is guilty of a misdemeanor and can be fined up to $100.
