How to Send Chemical Samples by Courier
- Label and weigh the correct number of vials.
- Preferably use a label printer for clarity
- Do not write directly onto the vial. Pen will rub off eventually.
- Transfer required samples to vials and obtain mass.
- Fill in the Customs declaration form, following instruction on page 2.
- Include sample reference AND
- Use CAS numbers and MSDS for known compounds and/or;
- Include IUPAC name
- If appropriate include a statement such as:
- Include sample reference AND
The samples are packaged as white solids and none of the substances are not classified as dangerous according to Directive 67/548/EEC
- Once the form is filled, print three (3) copies and sign with black pen.
- Placed samples in small box, along with any spectra or documentation required.
