1. The provisions of subdivisions 1 through 5 inclusive of section 33-0303 and titles 5, 7, 11, 13 and 15 of this article shall not apply to: a. Any carrier while lawfully engaged in transporting a pesticide within this state, if such carrier shall, upon request, permit the commissioner or his designated agent to copy all records showing the transactions in and movement of the articles; b. The manufacturer or shipper of a pesticide for experimental use only:
1. (1) By or under the supervision of an agency of this state or of the federal government authorized by law to conduct research in the field of pesticides which has a valid experimental permit issued by the commissioner, or
2. (2) By others having a valid experimental permit issued by the commissioner if the pesticide is not sold and if the container thereof is plainly and conspicuously marked "For experimental use only--Not to be sold," together with the manufacturer's name and address. However, if such a written permit has been obtained from the commissioner, pesticides may be sold for experimental purposes subject to such restrictions and conditions as may be set forth in the permit.

3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, registration is not required in the case of a pesticide shipped from one plant within this state to another plant within this state operated by the same person.
