HRS §147-23

Prohibited acts for agricultural exports and coffee shipments

This section bans two things: shipping certain farm products out of Hawaii unless they meet state quality and labeling rules, and shipping Hawaii-grown coffee beans away from their origin area unless the package shows where they came from. It only covers these shipping rules.
