<div class="moz-cite-prefix">... adding to what John said: including
the word "limited quantity" or "restricted quantity" to your
search will show you the allowances / exceptions that might be
useful. There are different regulations for DGR transportation on
ground (likely regulated by DOT in the US) and air transport
(IATA/ICAO). Useful infomration is summarised on the SPNHC wiki:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://spnhc.biowikifarm.net/wiki/Shipping_and_Handling_of_Dangerous_Goods">https://spnhc.biowikifarm.net/wiki/Shipping_and_Handling_of_Dangerous_Goods</a><br>

</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">However, it might probably be easier
purchasing the chemicals online and use the contacts details of
your colleague who needs them as shipping address. The retailer
surely is approved and takes care for DGR-shipping that is fully
compliant with the regs in place, and the shipping costs are
presumably lower, because as unknown, uncertified shipper you need
to calculate extra costs for the DGR-packaging that has to be done
by registered, certified companies (often found at airports). <br>

need to check with a potential shipping agency or service

the best price for packing, labeling, and shipping. You can
probably find the information you need online, but it will

<div>Dear Colleagues:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A colleague of mine needs to ship 4L of ethanol (ca.
100%) and 500 mL of Giemsa from PA, USA to CA, USA. As
far as I am aware, no museum specimens are involved
in the shipment. Are there any rules this colleague must
be aware about sending these liquids via post? </div>

<div>In gratefulness for your recommendations, sincerely,</div>
