For frozen reagents, proper packaging is crucial. The common practice is to use dry ice or ice packs to maintain low temperatures, and ensure that the outer packaging has good insulation properties to prevent temperature fluctuations. The reagents should be placed in dedicated refrigerated containers and clearly labeled with "Refrigerated" or "Frozen" signs to ensure special handling during transportation.When selecting flights and delivery transportation for frozen or refrigerated reagents, choosing the right flight is crucial. It is necessary to notify the airline in advance based on the characteristics of the reagents and confirm whether the destination port has temperature-controlled facilities. IMPORTANT! Not all airports provide temperature-controlled warehouse services, so please pay attention to this when choosing flights. Additionally, it is recommended to deliver the goods to the airport one day before the flight departure and prepare sufficient cooling materials to prevent delays in customs clearance affecting the goods.
Customs clearance and compliance: For laboratory reagents that require freezing, relevant quarantine inspection certificates and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must be provided during customs declaration. This process ensures that the reagents comply with international shipping regulations and customs clearance. Meanwhile, the temperature control standards and conditions must be clearly stated on the waybill, as shown in the figure.
Prior to the arrival of goods at the destination, the consignee should be notified in advance of the estimated delivery time, and ensured that they have prepared the customs clearance documents. Once the goods arrive, consignees must be promptly notified to proceed with customs clearance. If conditions permit, it is recommended to pick up the goods with materials such as dry ice for refrigeration to ensure that the goods are not affected by temperature fluctuations.
