GENERAL: My certificate of registration says I can carry exempt commodities. What are exempt commodities?

Answer:

In general, exempt commodities are things that have not been processed in any way such as fresh produce. There is a partial list of non-exempt commodities in 49 CFR 372.115. There is an additional list of exempt and non-exempt commodities in Administrative Rule 119, which can be found on our web site.
