It does not much matter as long as it gets done.  If it were me I would ensure that I did it to make sure. I.e. There is no legal requirement that it be done by you or the researcher.

BTW – we have had issues shipping materials to China in the past (especially by courier – seems that packages get held up in customs without any reasoning as to why).  You may want to consider sending these in some other manner.  Remember that it is illegal to take tissues in alcohol onto a plane as either hand or checked baggage!!

Subject: [NHCOLL-L:5557] shipping tissues

Dear listees,
I have a question about shipping tissues.  I plan to ship two vials of tissue to NY and then the researcher who is in NY will get them to China.  Do I still need to fill out exportation documents since the tissue is originating with me or it that the responsibility of the researcher?  Thanks.
