Description
Shipped in bags, bales or cases.
May be subject to loss in weight due to loss of moisture, or to chafing and consequent seepage from bags, etc. The extent of any such loss will be dependent on the condition of the roots at the time of shipment, the nature of the voyage and handling and stowing. Loss may also be enhanced by poor packing.
