Transportation of live cells internationally requires a permit from the CDC. We currently hold a worldwide permit without country limitations but there are limitations relative to the specific organisms listed on our permit. If you wish to ship a sample that is not listed on our permit, we can provide a sample preparation method that will render the cells non-viable for transport.
