A. The manufacturer or person responsible for distributing an animal remedy in the Commonwealth shall obtain a registration from the Commissioner or his agent for the animal remedy before placing such remedy on the market, except for medicated feeds registered under subdivision A 3 of § 3.1-828.7 of the Virginia Commercial Feed Law.
B. Any person may make application for registration of any animal remedy by filing with the Commissioner, on forms furnished or approved by him, a statement with respect to such animal remedy setting forth:

A label for any animal remedy shall accompany each application for registration, and, when requested by the Commissioner, or his agent, a representative and true sample or specimen of each animal remedy to be registered shall accompany such application. A statement of claims made or to be made which differ from the label submitted shall be filed with the Commissioner prior to use.
D. If the Commissioner, or his agent, after examination and investigation, finds that the application and labeling comply with §§ 3.1-829 through 3.1-844, a certificate of registration shall be issued to the applicant on payment of an inspection fee as provided in § 3.1-842.

G. The manufacturer or person responsible for placing on the market an animal remedy which is offered for sale, sold or otherwise distributed in this Commonwealth before it has been properly registered shall be subject to a late inspection fee of fifty dollars payable to the Commissioner in addition to the inspection fee. The registrant shall pay the late inspection fee before the registration is issued.
