We advise not to use FEDEX / TNT for shipment. We experience a lot of delays with deliveries, because parcels are not cleared through customs in time leading to loss of samples.

Please:

  • Ship the samples on dry ice;
  • Label the box with the assigned project number;
  • Label the sample(s) unambiguously (preferably use stickers);
  • Email or include an appropriate sample list;
  • Check our opening hours for sample receipt
  • IMPORTANT: For animal material or animal by products please fill the EU Animal by-products commercial document (for EU) or NL vormvrij handelsdocument (NL only) and print this form in quadruplicate. Add an original signed form to the package, a copy for consignor, a copy for transporter and a copy for biosafety officer. Print the following two labels (DBP_cat1 and UN3373) and put this on the outside of the package. For genetically modified organisms (GMO) replace label UN3373 for the UN3245 label.
  • Make sure that the material is shipped in a closed and leak free package.

Sample receipt can only take place from Monday until Friday Noon (12:00 GMT+1.00)
