California Code, Food and Agricultural Code (Formerly Agricultural Code) - FAC § 58604.5

“Advertising and sales promotion” also means, in addition to its ordinary accepted meaning, activities for the modification or removal of trade barriers that restrict the free flow of a commodity to market, including negotiation with federal and foreign governments, and the allowance of reimbursement payments to offset commodity transportation or other costs to selected domestic and foreign markets.

Domestic f.o.b. selling price shall not be used as a factor in determining qualifications for reimbursement payments unless the director determines that there is no feasible alternative for establishing these qualifications.
