    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Barry,<br>
      <br>
      sorry for my question, but what do you mean with "countries
      requiring MTAs"; in terms of required under existing laws that
      regulate access and being exported? The ABS clearing house give
      some sort of information on country specific access, but this is
      rather unspecific and cannot be understood as positive or negative
      list (also, it is usually not up to date - thus the best is to get
      into contact with authorities of respective countries; the ABS
      Clearing house provides contact details)<br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__absch.cbd.int_countries&d=CwMD-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=uMSCYPwXjKjcqlBo9w9aNHtTikqZcQre64OqgJHh-Rc&s=Hu-1-BcM3KvxGXXOKmKwcKhBmrisNuixHrIJEWBmH2o&e=">https://absch.cbd.int/countries</a><br>
      <br>
      If you say "coming <u>and</u> going to the USA", it sounds like
      you would ask for specific documents that are required during
      import to or export from the US; in this case a MTA signed between
      to institutions (similar to a loan form) would be enough. This
      would then be independent of any requirements of those countries
      where the materials originate from.<br>
      <br>
      All the best<br>
