[Nhcoll-l] Importing mammal tissues into US

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Hi Dave

Is this USFWS?  What are they contesting?  The preservation technique used or the species information or some other issues?  This will help narrow down the sort of advice to provide.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Importing mammal tissues into US

If anyone could give me advice on importing vole tissues into the US for DNA analysis, I'd appreciate it.

We've imported lots of herp tissues without problem, but our local customs agents seem to believe that the rules are different for mammals.

Reply off-list if you prefer (catfish at utexas.edu<mailto:catfish at utexas.edu>)

Best,
Dave
