[Nhcoll-l] Information on shipping Museum mammal skulls to Chile

[Laura Abraczinskas]

Hello,
 
We are looking for information regarding the possibility of shipping
preserved mammal skulls to a university in Chile.  (We have had no shipping
transactions with this country in recent decades.) The materials requested
for loan from our museum are non-endangered, non-threatened, non-CITES
listed species.  We have checked the FedEX International website (country
profile for Chile) and see that "processed dead animals" are on the General
Import Restrictions list.  It seems that preserved dry skulls of cataloged
museum specimens would be considered "processed dead animals".  Any
information or advice is welcome.
 
Please feel free to reply off list to abraczi1 at msu.edu 
Best,
Laura
