Tip 5: Deliver What You Declare

When you deliver to a licensed grain company, you are legally required to complete a Declaration of Eligibility for Delivery of Grain to confirm that the grain you are delivering is of a variety that is eligible for the kind (and class, if applicable) of grain being sold.

Your grain buyer may also ask you to sign a commercial declaration that indicates your crop was not treated with specific crop input products to ensure it meets the requirements of our export markets. They may also set out obligations and penalties associated with the commercial declaration (for example, holding you liable for the costs associated with contamination of a bin or shipment).

While these are two distinct declarations, grain companies may choose to combine both types of declaration into a single form for administrative efficiency.
