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<mailto:abraczi1 at msu.edu>
Best,
Laura
