§ 96.3.  Marking.

 (a)  A person may not sell, expose for sale, or transport for sale in closed packages, grapes, potatoes, apples or peaches not marked with the appropriate United States Grades: provided, however, this section does not apply to grapes, potatoes, apples and peaches not graded and classified as to quality if shipped for sale or sold exposed for sale as ‘‘unclassified’’ as provided in 3 P. S. §  372.

 (b)  Grade identification and classification as to quality other than established as official under §  96.2 (relating to standards of quality for grading and classifying) may be shown, provided, however, the appropriate United States grade is the dominant mark on the container. To satisfy this subsection as to dominance, the United States grade mark shall be at least 100% larger than any other grade mark shown. Under no circumstances may another grade mark be so contrived as to command as much or more prominence than the United States grade mark.

 (c)  The United States grade mark shall appear on the container in the conventional area for grade marks and other related information.
