This prohibition shall not apply to the transfer of a pesticide from one plant or warehouse to another plant or warehouse and used solely at such plant or warehouse as a constituent part to make a pesticide which is or will be registered pursuant to the provisions of this act; or the distribution of a pesticide pursuant to the provisions of an experimental use permit issued under section eight.
No person shall distribute a pesticide classified by the department as being for restricted use to a person not appropriately certified to use that pesticide. This prohibition shall not apply to the distribution of a pesticide to a competent individual acting under the direct supervision of an individual appropriately certified to use that pesticide.
No person shall distribute a pesticide that is adulterated or misbranded or a device that is misbranded.
No person shall distribute any pesticide unless it is in the registrant's or the producer's unbroken, unopened, and sealed container. This prohibition shall not apply to the repackaging of pesticides because of damage in transit.
