Hunt v. Washington Apple Advertising Comm'n North Carolina law requiring that all apples sold or shipped into the state in closed containers be identified by no grade on the containers -- other than the applicable federal grade or a designation that the apples are not graded -- violates the Commerce Clause by burdening and discriminating against the interstate sale of Washington apples.
