New Mexico Statutes Chapter 77. Animals and Livestock § 77-9-54. Transportation of hides

A. It is unlawful for any person to transport or cause to be transported from a district or out of this state any hides that have not been inspected by an inspector and tagged or marked as prescribed by rule of the board. The board may provide by rule for collection of an inspection fee not to exceed the amount prescribed by law, and the fee is a lien upon the hides inspected until paid.

B. Each inspector shall keep a complete record of all inspections made by him and immediately forward to the director on blanks furnished him for that purpose, a complete report of each inspection, giving the names of the purchaser and shipper of the hides and all the brands on the hides. The report shall be preserved by the director as records of his office.
