[Nhcoll-l] regulations on sending biological or geological material to another country in europe

[Dirk Neumann]

Dear Lennart,

basic requirements are summarised in this article 
<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13127-012-0076-4>; we 
currently plan to update the SPNHC Wiki pages but I am behind my 
schedule. There may be two workshops shortly dealing with this, one at 
the MfN in Berlin end of November (to be announced), the other at the 
SPNHC conference in Edinburgh next year.

with regard to sending material to the UK after the Brexit, it might be 
useful to contact collegaues there directly, or to consult with 
colleagues at the NHM in London; the latter are very firm with regards 
to zoological objects and necessary adjustments (if any) after the UK 
left the EU.

In principle (at least from what I know), the most EU laws were 1:1 
translated into UK laws for the moment, but there may be exceptions (UK 
colleagues may chip in). For herbarium material I would ask colleagues 
at Edinburgh or Kew. Geology you surely will have to consider customs 
laws, depending on the objects/minerals and their marketable/insurance value

Edangered species: as long as this is preserved museum materials shipped 
within Europe, you only need to have CITES in mind now after the UK 
left. For all shipments within the EU and the Single Market, you don't 
need to register and report these shipments, but it is worth to add 
specific paperwork and information (shipping docs).

With best wishes
Dirk
