[NHCOLL-L:4864] FW: Brazilian shipments

Heather
 
Below is a message I sent out to a colleague some ime back in this regard.  Barzil is always a bit of a crap shot but having all of the following in order will probably smooth the way...
 
Let me know if you have any questions.
 
Andy

Hi Linda

 

Have just been through a very painful process with sending tissues to Brazil that resulted in the tissues never being sent on to the recipient and so, as a first comment, I would ward against even trying!!!

 

But, if you do decide to try here are some docs that may help.

 

1.	You need an MTA between your institution and the Brazilian Institution you are sending to.  This needs to be filled out by them and signed and dated by the Brazilian Veterinary authority - Brazil MTA.doc 
2.	Then you need a "DECLARATION FOR EXPORT OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL ORIGINATED FROM ANIMAL SOURCE PRESERVED IN ALCOHOL, FOMALDEHYDE OR GLUTARALDEHYDE TO BRAZIL" also signed and dated by them - Brasil - Import scientific material.pdf 
3.	We were also asked for a letter on letterhead stating the purpose of the material entering Brazil (scientific loan of material for research purposes), how it was preserved and the origin of the material (where it was collected) - Brenos letter.doc 
4.	They also requested a similar declaration from the recipient - Carta Breno.doc - which came from this guy's supervisor. 

 

As I said, none of this did us any good as the material was never delivered - AND we never got it back.  Luckily it was a gift of a subsample so no big deal.  But, I will never try again.

 

Hope this helps

 

Andy

Hi Andy,

Hope you are well.  I'm writing in respect to the Brazilian Declaration for Export document that's now required.  Could you send me examples of how you fill out the form for 1) shipping a KU loan to Brazil versus 2) returning a Brazilian loan?

A Brazilian colleague sent us a filled out form so as to send him an MCZ loan -- and now I'm completely confused.  Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated !

Have a great weekend - we are supposed to finally have sun !

Best,
Linda
