The Secretary of Agriculture must give people copies of the official naval stores standards if they ask and post security. The Secretary must also test naval stores on request and issue a certificate stating the grade, which courts accept as strong evidence.

The Secretary of Agriculture must provide duplicates of the official United States naval stores standards to anyone who asks, if doing so is practical. The person requesting a copy must give satisfactory security promising to return it. The Secretary sets the rules for how this works. The Secretary must also examine naval stores for anyone who asks, if practical. The Secretary will analyze, classify, or grade the naval stores under rules the Secretary sets. The Secretary must then give the requester a certificate showing the naval stores' analysis, classification, or grade. In court, that certificate counts as strong first-look evidence — what lawyers call “prima facie evidence” — of the analysis, classification, or grade, and of what is inside any package the sample came from. The certificate can be used as evidence in any court case.
