[NHCOLL-L:4047] Shipping museum specimens to Iran

[Gordon Hendler]

         Has anyone had experience mailing museum specimens to Iran?
         I would like to return  a small number of dried echinoderms that 
were sent by a student in Tehran, and have obtained a USFWS 3-177 for the 
material.
         I would appreciate advice regarding how the specimens should be 
mailed, accompanying forms that are necessary, and special restrictions or 
regulations that apply.
