an airline - fully agrees and has to comply with these IATA regulations, unless the specific airline variations. Which doesn't seem to be the case (at least not in the 2021 version that FedEx has online).<o:p></o:p></p>

or as animal-by-products. The terms 'freshwater fish' or 'marine fish', but also marine/freshwater invertebrates can raise red flags as there are many transmissible diseases that can be carried from 'fish' or 'invertebrates'. Crayfish plague for example was
transmitted via thawing water from frozen crayfish imports.<o:p></o:p></p>
