- We implemented a new method of shipping samples to New Zealand at the request of Christina Riesselman, University of Otago. Her institution does not use a permit to import. They use the New Zealand health standard and a weight maximum exception. The method requires a maximum of 10 kg per package, samples be identified as “Deep sea clay and sand sample for research purposes” in shipping documents, a intro letter, a copy of the New Zealand Health Standard, and a sample list by box. The process is similar to the permit, but much easier in terms of coordination. I saved copies of these examples in our 383 expedition folder. Maybe we should start a section in the lab notebooks for shipping to certain countries.
