There are two sampling methods:
Probe method: after the carrier has been loaded
On-line sampling: as the carrier is being loaded
LDAF inspectors take samples from a variety of storage units, including barges, railcars, trucks, and warehouses. Samples are then graded by a variety of factors such as color, damage, amount of foreign material, and odor. Upon completion of the grading, LDAF inspectors issue inspection certificates.
