<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>effective from April1, 2025 all shipments to the US and the EU <u>must</u> provide the following information:</p>
<ol>
<li>HS code for every item, minimum the first six digits (for us 9705 29 00; 9705 22 for protected species, 9705 21 for human ramins, 9705 10 for archaeological or ethnographic objects);
<b>now </b><b>apparently </b><b>mandatory for imports to the US </b></li><li>Full description of goods for all items, i.e.:
<ul>
<li>What is it ? (preserved [zoological, botanical, mineralogical, anatomical, palaeontological, archaeological, ethnographic, historical specimens/museum objects)
</li><li>What is it made of ? (e.g. ethanol preserved invertebrates, fish, dry insects/herbarium specimens, mineralogical specimen, etc.)
</li><li>What is it intended for ? (scientific research, followed by a more detail description like biodiversity/taxonomic/molecular/mineralogicial/palaeontological research)
</li></ul>
</li><li>The declared value of the samples (not more than 1,- US/EUR, unless the specimens where acquired as purchase and have a commercial invoice with the actual value of the material)<br>
</li><li>The receiver’s Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number (request the the Recipient Tax ID directly from your colleagues e.g. via email)
</li><li>The correct country of origin (i.e. the home country of the shipping institution,
<u>NOT</u> the country where the material was collected); <b>now</b><b> apparently
</b><b>mandatory for imports to the US<br>
</b></li></ol>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Be aware of upcoming changes in international shipping and keep yourself up to date and informed! </p>
<p>There have been issues to dispatch shipments travelling via national postal systems to the US in the last two weeks. Shipments from Germany to the US using DHL Worldpost (traditional parcel post that is handled in the US via USPS) got stopped before exported
to the US and returned.<br>
