[NHCOLL-L:3921] FedEX again... Harmonization code for preserved museum specimens

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Hi all

Further to my first two postings, I received a query about the harmonization code to be used when processing an international shipment through FedEx and truing to find what paperwork to include.  I decided to go to the source of the harmonization codes to get a ruling and the response is below...

This is the code that should be entered for all museum preserved or non-preserved specimens when shipping internationally using FedEx AND UPS.

Hope this helps

Andy
