The CDC import permits are issued only to the importer located in the United States. The importer is responsible for assuring that the foreign personnel package, label, and ship the infectious materials according to Federal and International regulations. Shipping labels with the universal biohazard symbol and a copy of the issued CDC import permit should accompany the package being imported into the United States. The permit and labels inform the U.S. Customs Service and U.S. Division of Quarantine Personnel of the package contents.
