Accordingly in addition to the regular export certificate for lard exported to Ecuador, a supplemental certificate should be issued on a bureau letterhead showing the description and marks as well as the serial number of the regular export certificate issued for the consignment, and stating that the lard contains "no added stearine," or "less than 12 per cent of added stearine," as the case may be.
