[NHCOLL-L:5033] RE: EU shipments

[Watkins-Colwell, Gregory]

It sounds like there are at least 3 collections shipping to Spain in the next few weeks.  Dare I assume that we are all shipping blind snakes to the same place?

Whom else is sending blind snakes to Spain?

Hi Greg,
We have sent items to Finland and Greece very recently and these did not require any vet statements. Besides the correct labeling for ethanol, we labeled everything "Scientific samples" and never say anything like "Lizards", Salamanders etc. We did have something come back from Germany a while ago because they thought it was a live lizard. And we did have a problem with vet labels for China, but we sent some more documentation and our researchers were able to get the tissues.
I am sending some specimens to Spain in a week, so would be interested to hear from anyone about that.

Cheers,
Carol
