If—

(a) access to a lot of seed at a place or premises cannot readily be obtained by an officer requiring a sample of that seed; or
(b) the lighting at a place or premises where seed is sampled is not sufficient to enable an officer requiring a sample of that seed to readily read all the marks, printing or writing on the containers of the seed concerned, or on labels attached to such containers,

the person in charge of the place or premises in question or, in the case of seed that is imported or is being exported, the importer or exporter thereof or his agent, shall render all reasonable assistance required by the officer concerned to enable him to obtain the required sample and to identify the seed concerned.
