(3) When a first purchaser lives or has his office in another state, or is a federal or governmental agency, the producer shall report to this Commission all sales made to such purchaser as required by section (1) of this rule and shall pay the assessment directly to the Commission, unless such first purchaser voluntarily makes the proper deduction and remits the proceeds to this Commission.

(4) At the time that reports are due the Commission from the first purchaser or first handler, as required in section (1) of this rule, the first purchaser or first handler shall attach or forward payment to the Commission for the assessment due as set forth in each such report. The forms shall be signed by the first purchaser or first handler and completely filled out, and shall include, in addition to all other required information and figures, the name and complete mailing address of each producer, species of berries, total dollars paid, and 1% of dollar ($) value.

(5) Any producer who performs the handling or processing functions on all or part of his production of the commodity, which normally would be performed by another person as the first purchaser thereof, shall report his sales of such commodity of his own production on forms provided by, and pay the assessment moneys directly to the Commission, unless the first purchaser from such producer voluntarily makes proper deduction and remits the proceeds to the Commission. Examples would be the sale by a producer direct to a peddler, to a retail store, etc.
