[NHCOLL-L:4867] Re: FW: Brazilian shipments

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi Heather,

we have sent preserved fish and tissues several times to Brazil without 
any problems, using the

"DECLARATION FOR EXPORT OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL ORIGINATED FROM ANIMAL SOURCE PRESERVED IN ALCOHOL, FOMALDEHYDE OR GLUTARALDEHYDE TO BRAZIL" form as recommended by Andy already.

You should make sure that you have two original signed copies of this form, one added accessible together with the waybill in one pouch on the outside of the parcel, the other inside the parcel (in case the shipment is opened for inspection and the outside copy is lost for any reason).

All the best
Dirk
