[Nhcoll-l] Shipping Entomological Specimens to Brasil

[Peter T Oboyski]

Hi Mary Beth,

Do not send specimens via FedEx, UPS, or other carriers - you may never see
them again. Use the US Postal Service. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you
include the proper customs documents from Brasil (I think this is the
Material Transfer Agreement David referred to). Provide the people
requesting the loan with the number and kinds of specimens and have them
prepare this document with you. If they are not familiar with these
documents do not send the loan. I have successfully sent/received insect
specimens to/from Brasil over the past few years.

Pete
