FFPE Shipment Recommendations / Pro-forma invoice

To prevent problems at customs, we recommend that you declare the packages appropriately, and send a pro-forma invoice together with the package. The following phrase can be used to declare the material: "Inactivated human tissue material for research purposes". A pro-forma invoice can be downloaded here.

Packaging

Please ensure that the blocks and slides are carefully packed as otherwise they could easily get damaged during transport - irrespective of whether you send the tissue by post or courier. The slides should be sent in customized slide boxes and should be wrapped with tissue paper to prevent any movement. If slides or blocks move around when the box is shaken, they have not been wrapped sufficiently.
