Hey folks,

I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for which HS codes to use for shipping avian tissue/blood/DNA for non-commercial genetic research.
I have exclusively used codes in the 9705 group for importing and exporting specimens, however we have recently run into an issue with an exporting country requiring a broker for anything in this group. It does look like there are other HS codes that may apply to these types of samples like 0511.99 or 3002.90.00. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you!

Mary Margaret
