Not commercially clean (NCC)

Export shipments that do not meet the standards for commercial cleanliness are referred to as not commercially clean. Such shipments are permitted only with the permission of the Canadian Grian Commission.

For samples representing not commercially clean shipments approved by the Canadian Grian Commission for shipment from terminal elevators, dockage is reported to the nearest 0.1%.

A direct deduction of up to 0.2% is applied to take into account the buildup of attritional material for direct exports only.

Faba beans on export are graded in accordance with the primary and export grade determination tables.
