“Shipper” means any person who engages in the operation of selling, marketing, handling, or distributing cherries which he or she has purchased or acquired from a producer, or which he or she is marketing on behalf of a producer, whether as owner, agent, employee, broker, or otherwise. When the shipper is a corporation, all the directors and officers of the corporation in their capacity as individuals are included, and any liability for failure to collect or make payment of assessments to which a corporate shipper may be subject pursuant to this chapter includes the same liability for each individual director or officer of the corporation.
“Shipper” does not include a retailer, except a retailer who purchases or acquires from, or handles on behalf of any producer, cherries which were not previously subject to regulation by the commission.
