<div>I also would recommend not sending any loans. I have colleagues there and I've been there for two weeks in each of the last three years.</div>

<div>Even for Indian scientists, permits for anything are hard to get, and most scientists ignore them completely. My impression is that sending specimens would be worse.</div>

government changed the laws and made it extremely difficult to ship in and out of India. This has the India scientific community very angry, and there have been publications about it, especially because it is creating a big impediment to science there. Like
always there will be stories of people or institutions that have succeeded to ship things, BUT again, as I understand it, according to India laws it is very problematic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Does anyone have any experience in shipping wet specimens (Non-CITES) to India using FedEx or DHL? If so, have you needed any specific forms or supplementary permits/vet certificates? I'm looking into logistics of a potential loan, and I've never shipped there
before.<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>
