Cherries have similar varietal characteristics; are mature, fairly well-colored, well- formed, and clean; and are free from decay, insect larvae or holes caused by them, a soft, overripe, or shriveled appearance, undeveloped doubles, sunscald, and damage by any other cause.

Tolerances for defects en route or at destination stand at 12 percent for cherries in any lot which fail to meet the requirements for this grade, provided that included in this amount not more than the following percentages shall be allowed for defects listed: 8 percent for cherries which fail to meet the requirements for this grade because of perma- nent defects; or 6 percent for cherries which are seriously damaged, including therein not more than 4 percent for cherries which are seriously damaged by permanent defects and not more than 2 percent for cherries which are affected by decay.
