<div class="moz-cite-prefix">.... just want to add that it might be
worth considering to have a copy of the relevant IATA pages Andy
forwarded with you when returning from the field carrying ethanol
preserved specimens in your luggage to avoid any ambiguities when
checking in especially in third world countries. Airline / airport
staff is often unfamiliar / not well training in the IATA
regulations and/or the current issue of the IATA handbook might
not be at hand.<br>
<br>
Have also in mind that 3x heat-sealing is a must, i.e. you may
need to carry a heat-sealing device with you into the field to be
able to comply with the IATA A180 packing requirements.<br>
<br>
Last but not least, have in mind that import of pure ethanol is
prohibited to certain Islamic countries for religious reason; it
worth considering to document that your tubes are filled with an
ethanol based puffer that is spoiled with specific DNA-stabilising
chemicals ... <br>
<br>
Congratulations, Andy !!!<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the release of the latest version of
the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations recently it appears as if
we have finally reached the end of our long dangerous goods
journey. Attached is the new language inserted that allows
specimens, packaged according to IATA Special Provision A180,
to be carried as carry-on and checked baggage as well as on
your person. I have highlighted the relevant line I Table
2.3A and section 2.3.5.14. You will not that operators or
pilots approval is NOT required in all these cases.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will however, presumably, be required
to also follow TSA guidelines for carry-on baggage and
specimens will thus have to be in a quart size zip-lock bag
with no internal container more than 30ml (as per SP A180 even
though TSA allows 100ml). Only one quart size zip-lock per
passenger is allowed – in other words the size of the bag will
limit how many specimens or tissues you will be able to carry
on board. If in doubt, check it. In any case, I would
suggest carrying a copy of these regulations with you,
together with all necessary permitting etc. when attempting to
carry specimens onto a plane.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to once again thank my
contacts at IATA and DOT for their unending support and
assistance during this process. I could not have done it
without them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></p>
